Comparison of patient reported outcomes following clavicle operative fixation using supraclavicular nerve sparing and supraclavicular nerve sacrificing techniques – A cohort study

Injury Oct 30, 2020

Huang D, Cheng J, Bong YR, et al. - In this study, numbness, patient-reported outcomes and surgical time were compared in patients undergoing clavicle open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) using supraclavicular nerve sparing and supraclavicular nerve sacrificing techniques. Researchers performed a retrospective cohort study with prospective survey including a total of 108 patients with clavicular fractures who treated with ORIF at a level 1 trauma centre. Individuals were classifed into two groups: ORIF with supraclavicular nerve sparing techniques and ORIF with supraclavicular nerve sacrificing techniques. The study illustrates that identification and protection of the supraclavicular nerves result in significantly less numbness following clavicle ORIF but does not influence patient reported functional outcomes.
