Clavicle fractures are frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Though multiple treatment techniques have been described in literature, open reduction and internal fixation with plating and intramedullary nailing are preferred in adults. This study analyses the functional outcome, complications, duration of bony union of mid-shaft clavicle fractures treated with plate fixation versus intramedullary fixation.
