About this study

Official title: Functional Outcome in Midshaft Clavicle Fracture Patients, Treated With Superior Versus Anteroinferior Reconstruction Plate. Randomized Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome in patients with a midshaft clavicle fracture treated with to different techniques. the first one was placing a 3.5mm reconstruction plate in the superior side of the clavicle and the second one placing the same 3.5mm reconstruction plate in the anteroinferior side of the clavicle. the patients had the same rehabilitation program and evaluated with functional scores at 30, 60, 90 and 365 days after surgery. biomechanical studies have demonstrated more stable construct using an anteroinferior plate in clavicle fractures and we were trying to find out if it has a clinical relevance in patients with midshaft clavicle fractures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome in patients with a midshaft clavicle fracture treated with to different techniques.

the first technique was placing a 3.5mm reconstruction plate in the superior side of the clavicle and the second one placing the same 3.5mm reconstruction plate in the anteroinferior side of the clavicle.

the patients had the same rehabilitation program and evaluated with Disabilities Arm Shoulder and Hand functional outcome score and Visual Analogue Score for pain at 30, 60, 90 and 365 days after surgery.

biomechanical studies have demonstrated more stable construct using an anteroinferior plate in clavicle fractures and we were trying to find out if it has a clinical relevance in patients with midshaft clavicle fractures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand score (DASH)

    we applied the Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand score a score from 0 to 100 where 0 is no disability and 100 the worst disability

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand score (DASH)

    we applied the Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand score a score from 0 to 100 where 0 is no disability and 100 the worst disability

    Measured: 60 days after surgery

  3. Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand score (DASH)

    we applied the Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand score a score from 0 to 100 where 0 is no disability and 100 the worst disability

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  4. Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand score (DASH)

    we applied the Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand score a score from 0 to 100 where 0 is no disability and 100 the worst disability

    Measured: 365 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS)

    we applied Visual Analogous Scale pain score a 0 to 10 score where 0 is no pain and 10 the maximum grade of pain

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS)

    we applied Visual Analogous Scale pain score a 0 to 10 score where 0 is no pain and 10 the maximum grade of pain

    Measured: 60 days after surgery

  3. Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS)

    we applied Visual Analogous Scale pain score a 0 to 10 score where 0 is no pain and 10 the maximum grade of pain

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  4. Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS)

    we applied Visual Analogous Scale pain score a 0 to 10 score where 0 is no pain and 10 the maximum grade of pain

    Measured: 365 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open Reduction Internal Fixation superior plate and Open Reduction Internal Fixation anteroinferior plate in people with Closed Fracture of Shaft of Clavicle, run by UMAE Hospital de Traumatologia y Ortopedia de Puebla.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand score (DASH) (time frame: 30 days after surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 May 2018.
