Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Evaluating the results of treatment of closed distal clavicle fracture by osteosynthesis with precontoured lateral clavicle locking plate. Subjects and methods: Retrospective combined prospective study on 35 adult patients with closed distal clavicle fracture treated surgically by open reduction and internal fixation with precontoured lateral clavicle locking plate method from January 2022 to May 2024. Results and conclusion: Following short-term results, the average postoperative time was 3.31 ± 1.45 days. 100% of patients healed from the initial wound and the bone axis was straight and no displacement. Following long-term results, 100% of patients had healed scar. The rate of bone healing achieved was 100%. The average Constant score of the research group was 79.05 ± 11.34 points. The results of shoulder joint function according to Boehm classification by Constant score by age group and sex in our study were 82.86% good and very good, 17.14% fair. The research team found the method of open reduction and internal fixation with using precontoured lateral clavicle locking plate brings good results, and satisfaction with shoulder function after surgery for patients.
