Abstract

Background: On the basis of clavicular fracture locations, they have classified as middle, lateral, and medial third fractures. Middle thirds account for approximately 80% of clavicle fractures, making them the most common region in terms of incidence. Objective: This investigation was designed to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation for displaced fractures of the mid-shaft of the clavicle, with the assistance of a precontoured anatomical locked plate. Patients and Methods: This investigation was conducted in the Orthopedic Department of Menofia University Hospital and New Cairo Hospital on thirty patients. The investigation was conducted with the informed consent of all patients. The t-test was employed to ascertain the significance of the data, with a p-value of less than 0.001. Results: The patients in the study had a mean time of union of 10.0 ± 1.33 weeks, with a range of 8-12 weeks. One case was an exception, as it presented with an infected non-union. In summary, the age was statistically significantly correlated with the final score. Excellent results had a mean age of 53.33 ± 4.16 years, while exceptional results had a mean age of 33.63 ± 11.74 years. Conclusion: In certain patients, a precontoured clavicular fixed plate is an effective treatment procedure for the internal fixation and open reduction of displaced fractures in the middle third of the clavicle. The procedure has exceptional overall results and a low rate of complications, despite its low morbidity rate.
