- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to know the usefulness of bony union and faster recovery of shoulder motions by the open reduction and internal fixation with the reconstruction plate for the displaced clavicle shaft fracture of adults.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: From January 1993 to December 1997, for 5 years, we analyzed 28 cases which underwent for a year of displaced clavicular shaft fracture over 11mm after open reduction and internal fixation with the reconstruction plate and supplementary iliac bone graft.
RESULT
At all 28 cases, there were united without delayed union for average 7.2 weeks after operation. Motion of the shoulder joint were returned to normal within 1.8 weeks except two cases who had combined humerus fracture and partial gastrectomy for peptic ulcer.
CONCLUSION
It seems that operative treatment with the reconstruction plate and supplementary bone graft for the displaced clavicle shaft fracture of adults showed effective union and faster recovery of shoulder motions.

Abstract

- Clavicle fracture is one of the most common fracture, which had been managed via conservative methods with some exceptions such as nonunion. Operative treatment had been regarded as an important cause of nonunion and poor outcome. Nowadays, however, the goal of fracture treatment has become anatomical reduction, rigid fixation and early rehabilitation for better final results. We managed 43 clavicular shaft fracture which was displaced above 11mm, with conservative treatment (23 cases) and operative treatment (20 cases) since 1990 to 1995. All patients achieved good union in both group, except 5 nonunions of conservative treatment and no significant difference in union time. By functional evaluation of shoulder by Weitzman, final results were excellent in 17, good in 2 cases, fair in 1 case with operative treatment and excellent in 12, good in 4, fair in 3 and poor in 4 cases with conservative treatment. It was concluded that early operative treatment of clavicular shaft fracture showed better result than conservative treatment, especially in displaced and comminuted ones.
