Plate fixation versus titanium elastic nailing in midshaft clavicle fractures based on fracture classifications.

CONCLUSION: Patient satisfaction of TEN fixation was higher than that of plate fixation, but TEN fixation had a higher incidence of early postoperative pain and migration in type C fractures. Therefore, type A and B fractures can successfully be treated with plate or TEN fixation, but type C fractures should be treated with plate fixation. PMID: 33258399 [PubMed - in process]
