Comparison of Short Term Results of Type IIB2 Middle Third Clavicular Fractures Treated with Figure of Eight Bandage and Locked Plate Fixation

摘要

Objectives:Most acute displaced midshaft clavicular fractures conventionally have been treated nonoperatively with the expectation of a high probability of fracture union, good functional outcomes, and a high level of patient satisfaction . However, the outcome of nonoperative treatment is not as favorable as once thought and there has been a growing trend to treat these fractures surgically We aimed to evaluate and compare the short term results of conservative treatment and locked plate fixation in the treatment of type IIB2 clavicula fractures according to Robinson classification in this study.
