Elastic Intramedullary Nail Fixation of Displaced Midshaft Clavicular Fractures

Abstract
Background: Undisplaced midclavicular fractures are generally managed conservatively.Imminent perforation of the skin, impending or existing neurovascular compromise and the floating shoulder represent absolute indications for operative treatment.Gross displacement of fracture fragments, as well as non-unions, are seen as relative indications for surgical fixation.Plate osteosynthesis is the stand...
