Abstract

Objectives: Evaluating the results of treating closed middle third clavicle fracture by locking plate at Military Hospital 175. Subjects and methods: A prospective study from May 2022 to November 2023 at Military Hospital 175 on 38 adult patients with closed middle third clavicle fracture with separate fragments, treated by open reduction and internal fixation with locking plate method. Results: The initial wound healing rate reached 100%. On X-ray, the results of fracture reduction with complete displacement reached 36/38 patients, reaching 94.74%. Scars healed well and were soft in 32/38 patients, 84.21%. The rate of bone healing in patients reached 100%. The average Constant score is 85.35 ± 8.37 points. Postoperative rehabilitation results were 100% good and excellent, with 65.79% achieving very good results. No complications were encountered in the study. Conclusion: The method of clavicle fracture fixation using locking plates ensures stable fixation of the fracture without the need for external immobilization after surgery. This approach minimizes the impact on patients' daily activities, allows for early mobilization, and achieves optimal treatment outcomes.
