Abstract
Background and Objectives: Clavicle fracture is one of the most common fracture in human body. From past many years its been treated conservatively with good results. This study is conducted to know role of compression locking plate plate in unstable comminuted clavicle fracture. Materials and Methods: We included 20patients in our study. All were subjected for surgical treatment with LCP and followed up for 1 year. Study is conducted in period between January 2018 and January 2019. Result: 17 patients out of 20 who were treated with Anatomic locking compression plate shows union at average duration of 3 months (12 weeks). Delayed union was seen in 3 patients, plate loosening in one patient and 3 patients had plate prominence. According to Constant and Murley score after fracture union, 15 patients show excellent functional outcome, 4 patients shown good outcome and fair outcome was seen in 1 patient. Conclusion: Our study concluded that precontoured locking compression plates in unstable displaced comminuted fractures in middle third of clavicle give fracture stability, allows early mobility and there by prevents shoulder stiffness.
