Background: Clavicle fracture is commonly managed conservatively but non cosmetic appearance and non union in few cases has led to increase in number of cases being managed operatively. In this study , we studied the functional and radiological outcome of clavicle fracture managed by plating. Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in GMC jammu on 30 patients from March 2020 to March 2021 . Patients were operated with precontoured 3.5mm compression plate over superior aspect of clavicle and patients were followed up at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 weeks post operatively. Results: In our study , mean time for union was 14.7 weeks with no patient reporting non union .Range of motion at shoulder joint was near normal and patients reported high VAS scores. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with precontoured compression plate for mid shaft clavicle fracture gives good functional and radiological outcomes with high patient satisfaction rates and without any major complications.
