A Prospective Study of Fixation of Lateral end Clavicle with Tension band Wiring
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Displaced lateral end clavicle fractures have high incidence of delayed union or non-union, hence several authors suggested operative management for these fracture. Adequate reduction and minimal soft tissue dissection during implant placement and early removal is ideal for these fractures. METHODS: 20 patients with displaced lateral end clavicle fractures were included in our study. The fracture were reduced by open reduction and fixed with 2 K-wires and additional TBW with SS wire. Implant removal was done after six months. Results: All 20 fractures united. The mean average age was 27.5 years ranging from 20years to 55 years. The mean average time of union was 8.6 weeks ranging from 6 weeks to 14 weeks. All patients regained near normal range of motion and 15 patients had excellent constant murley score, 3 had good and 2 had fair results. Conclusion: The clinico-radiological outcome of displaced lateral end clavicle fractures treated by K-wires with TBW is encouraging and comparable with earlier studies
