Nonoperative management of minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) injuries with comminuted rami fractures is associated with late displacement

ConclusionLate fracture displacement was greatest in the group with rami comminution/nonoperative management. Rami comminution, which has been previously associated with dynamic displacement on EUA and LSR, is also associated with a higher incidence of late displacement when managed nonoperatively.Level of evidenceLevel III, prognostic retrospective cohort study.
