This report has been verified

original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Plate Fixation Compared with Nonoperative Treatment for Displaced Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2017 Jan 18;99(2):106-112160 patients with a Robinson type 2B1-2 displaced midshaft clavicle fracture were included in this multicenter randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes between operative and nonoperative treatment methods. Patients were evaluated for nonunion, constant shoulder score, disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score, pain, secondary operations, and cosmetic result. At one year the rate of nonunion was significantly higher in the nonoperative group as was the rate of secondary plate fixation to manage nonunion. However, there was no difference in the total number of secondary procedures between groups. Additionally, there were no differences in constant and DASH scores between the groups.
