STUDY OF DISPLACED MIDSHAFT CLAVICLE FRACTURES TREATED WITH INTRA MEDULLARY TITANIUM ELASTIC NAIL SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Introduction: Fractures of the clavicle, which primarily occur in young males, constitute 2.6–4% of all fractures in adults. A male dominance of approximately 70% has been reported. The most frequent injury mechanism is a direct fall on the shoulder. Fractures are often sustained during sports activities or trafc accidents. The majority (69–82%) of fractures occur in the mid-shaft of the clavicle, followed by 12–26% in the lateral part and 2–6% in the medial part. Aims: This study is aimed to assess the functional Outcome of intramedullary titanium elastic nail system for Displaced Clavicle Fracture.Materials And Methods:The present study was analytical study. This Study was conducted from one and half year at Department Of Orthopaedics Jagannath Gupta Institute Of Medical Sciences And Hospital, Kolkata. Result: In our study, 1 (5.0%) patient had Bb Leg Injuries and 2 (10.0%) patients had I/L Scapula Spine in Associated Injuries which was not statistically signicant (p=0.6530). Conclusion: We found that, ESIN is safe and minimally invasive with good patient satisfaction, cosmetic appearance, and overall outcome.
