    abstract = {In this prospective study, 40 patients diagnosed
as midshaft clavicle fracture, approaching the casualty
and the outpatient department of KIMS, Karad within the
period of May, 2014 to May, 2016 have participated. The
study purpose is to compare outcomes of midshaft
clavicle fractures treated with intramedullary elastic nail
with figure of 8 clavicle brace. Out of total 40 patients
treated in this study, 1 case in Operative group had nail
back out and 4 cases had medial cut end nail prominence
while in conservative group 11 patients had Malunited
clavicle fracture and 2 went in to Delayed union. Out of
40 patients we studied 22 (55%) patients had excellent
result, 16 (40%) patients had good result and 2 (5%)
patients had fair result. On comparing the results in both
groups, better results were seen in Operative group as
compared to conservative group. The duration of union in
operative group was early as compared to those treated
conservatively. Delayed union was seen in 2 patients
treated conservatively with brace.}
