Comparison of 2 Different Fixation Implants for Operative Treatment of Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures: A Retrospective Study.

CONCLUSIONS BCFS significantly reduced the operation time when compared with CLP. No significant differences were observed for functional outcomes, including fracture union and complications, and there was less pain and higher patient satisfaction. Both methods appeared to be safe in terms of complications. However, the effectiveness and safety of BCFS in treating comminuted multi-fragmentary mid-shaft clavicle fractures (AO/OTA 15-2C classification) need further confirmation.
