Evaluation of incidence of postoperative infection in fracture fixation of clavicle with locking reconstruction plate – retrospective study
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Most of the cases of the mid shaft of the fracture clavicle are treated conservatively by clavicukar brace with cuff and collar sling.
