Abstract
Clavicular fractures are common and can lead to significant morbidity if not treated appropriately. Plating of the clavicle has emerged as a standard surgical treatment to ensure optimal functional recovery. This study aims to analyze the functional outcomes following clavicular plating in patients. A prospective observational study was conducted from May 2023 to May 2024 at Darbhanga Medical College Hospital, Department of Orthopedics. A total of 30 patients who underwent clavicular plating were included. Data were collected on patient demographics, fracture types, surgical techniques, and post‐operative rehabilitation. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Constant‐Murley score at regular intervals. The study revealed significant improvements in functional outcomes post‐clavicular plating. The majority of patients achieved excellent to good scores on the Constant‐Murley scale. Complications were minimal and managed effectively. The study underscores the efficacy of clavicular plating in restoring shoulder function and reducing recovery time. Clavicular plating is a reliable surgical intervention for clavicular fractures, offering excellent functional outcomes and minimal complications. Continued research and refinement of techniques are recommended to further enhance patient recovery.
