Midshaft clavicular fractures: the role of operative treatment.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using dorsal plates and screws (AO/ASIF pi-plate) for dorsally displaced fractures of the distal radius. Although extensor tendon rupture is a recognized complication of all distal radial fracture...
