One year hospital based prospective study Of tens intra-medullary nailing in Midshaft clavicle fractures

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Clavicle fractures are common injuries in young and active individuals, especially those who participate in sports where high-speed falls (e.g., bicycling, motorcycles) or violent collisions (e.g., Football, hockey) are frequent, whereas in children and elderly they are related to falls, and they account for approximately 2.6% of all fractures. The most common site of fracture in the clavicle occurs at the middle third and which accounts for almost 80% of all clavicle fractures. AIM: To explain the faster pain relief, early return of function and restitution of clavicle length with the help of reduction and internal fixation of clavicle fracture creating an elastic stability at the fracture gap.
