<p><strong>Background: </strong>Displaced mid-shaft clavicular fractures are treated by conservative methods which shows higher rate of malunion and non-union with suboptimal outcomes. Fracture fixation by pre-countered anatomical clavicular locking plate avoids these complications. This study aims to assess the radiological and functional outcome after open reduction and internal fixation by pre-countered anatomical clavicular locking plate.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Fifty patients of mid-shaft clavicular fractures with age group of 18 to 60 years were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with precountered anatomical clavicular locking plate from, in the span of November 2018 to May 2020. All the patients were followed up for six months for the study. Final functional outcome was assessed in six months.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> All the fractures united at the average time of 16.32±2.37 weeks. Mean Constant and Murley score was 96.0±5.20. The outcome was graded as excellent in 45 (90%), good in 4 (8%) and fair in 1 (2%) patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Hence displaced mid-shaft clavicular fractures can be treated with by precountered anatomical clavicular locking plate.</p>

The current study is a prospective study on the functional outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures. About 30 patients were analyzed for the functional outcome of acetabular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation over a period of one year and eight months from March 2017 to October 2018 with a minimum follow up period of 9 months at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital, Chromepet, Chennai. The mean age of the patient was 37.96 year ranging from 20 - 60 years. The Joel Matta score was used for calculation of radiological outcome of 30 patients. The results were excellent in 19 (66.3%), good in 8 (26.6%), fair in 3 (10%), and poor in 0 (0%) patients. Functional outcome of displaced acetabular fractures more than 2 mm displacement was found to have excellent results on open reduction and internal fixation.
