Abstract
Background: Clavicle fractures have various complications following open reduction and internal fixation. The main objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of complications of Clavicle fractures following operative treatment. Also, the prevalence of infection, local dissatisfaction, non:::::union::::: and mal:::::union::::: in the Clavicle fracture after internal fixation was investigated.
Material and Methods: The study was cross-sectional. A sample of 52 patients was treated with clavicle fractures, which were treated with open resection and internal fixation. In order to determine the range of motion, strength and shoulder pain, patients were selected from Constant Shoulder Score. Radiography used to detect :::::union:::::.
Results: 12 were female and 40 were male of 52 patients. The mean score of the shoulder was 84 ± 2 (95% CI 83-84). One third of the patients used Hook. Patients complained more dysmorphic scar (96%), skin numbness (80%) and pain (73.1%). The rate of infection in patients was very low.
Conclusions: The most common complication is pain, dysmorphic scar and skin numbness that can be said to be relatively normal and can be seen in most patients. Of course, it should also be taken into account that the differences in surgical techniques, surgeries, cultural issues, gender, and age of the patients can be affected.
