How Open Reduction and Internal Fixation is performed
Surgery is typically performed under general or brachial plexus anesthesia. Depending on the fracture pattern, clavicle-specific plates and screws or other implants may be selected. A common approach involves open exposure under image guidance, reduction and temporary fixation, plate shaping after alignment, and screw fixation, with fluoroscopic confirmation of alignment and screw length; drainage is placed if necessary. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on pain, bleeding, and neurovascular status, with the goal of restoring shoulder girdle stability and creating conditions for functional rehabilitation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
