Displaced midshaft clavicle fractures: Conservative VS intramedullary nailing
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Materials & Methods: In this prospective, randomized study of 40 cases with clavicle fracture 20 patients were treated conservatively and 20 with IMN and were followed up at 4th, 8th and 12th week and 6th and 12th month. Time for fracture union was measured radiographically and Functional Outcome was assessed using Constant Murley Shoulder score. Patients with pathological fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures, segmental fractures and fractures associated with neurovascular injury were excluded.

A study on functional outcome following surgical fixation for subaxial cervical spine injuries
Background: Cervical instability due to trauma is usually from level c3 to c7 (i.e sub axial). Neurological deficit are common i.e root compression and cord compression with subluxation and dislocation. Unstable cervical...
Comparison between Percutaneous release and Corticosteroid injection in the management of trigger digits
Background: Trigger finger is basically caused by the mismatch between the volume of the flexor tendon sheath and its contents resulting in a narrowed tunnel for tendon excursion. Treatment modalities includes conservati...
Treatment of distal 1/3 tibia fractures: plating versus intramedullary nailing – A prospective comparative study
Background: Tibia is the most commonly fractured bone amongst all long bones of the body due to its position and lack of soft tissue protection. Treating tibia distal 1/3rd fracture is still a greater challenge. Fracture...
