Sling Compared with Plate Osteosynthesis for Treatment of DisplacedMidshaft Clavicular Fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: Patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fractures were randomized either to nonoperative treatment with a sling or to operative treatment with a stainless steel 3.5-mm reconstruction plate. Outcome measures were the Constant shoulder score, DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) score, pain, fracture-healing, and complications. The null hypothesis was that the Constant and DASH scores would not differ between the groups at the one-year follow-up evaluation.

Sling compared with plate osteosynthesis for treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures: a randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Few randomized controlled trials have compared operative with nonoperative treatment of clavicular fractures. METHODS Patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fractures were randomized either to nonoperative treatment with a sling or to operative treatment with a stainless steel 3.5-mm reconstruction plate. Outcome measures were the Constant shoulder score, DASH (Disabilities of...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) on Comminuted Tibial or Femoral Fractures
Background: Comminuted fractures happen frequently due to traumas. Fixation without opening the fracture site,known as minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), has recently become prevalent. This study has beendesigned to assess the outcomes of this treatment for tibial and femoral comminuted fractures.Methods: A total of 60 patients with comminuted femoral or tibial fractures were opera...
متن کاملNonoperative treatment compared with plate fixation of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown a high prevalence of symptomatic malunion and nonunion after nonoperative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. We sought to compare patient-oriented outcome and complication rates following nonoperative treatment and those after plate fixation of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. METHODS In a multicenter, prospective clinical trial,...
متن کاملSignificant pain reduction and improved functional outcome after surgery for displaced midshaft clavicular fractures
PURPOSE Displaced midshaft clavicular fractures can be treated conservatively as well as operatively by titan elastic nail (TEN) or plate fixation. This survey was performed to evaluate the clinical results of each treatment method and elaborate advantages or possible complications of each modality. METHODS Between 2008 and 2013, 102 patients were prospectively included in our study-37 patien...
متن کاملIs plating of mid-shaft clavicular fractures possible with a conventional straight 3.5 millimeter locking compression plate?
OBJECTIVES Current literature describes improved clinical outcomes and a minor rate of pseudoarthrosis following operatively treated clavicular fractures. We investigated the feasibility of using a standard 3.5 mm AO locking compression plate (LCP) of adequate length for the stabilisation of mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle. METHODS The length and acromial and diaphyseal curvature depths w...
