Possible advantage with intramedullary vs plate fixation in treatment of clavicle fracture .
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.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2015;3(8):39 Int Orthop. 2015 Feb;39(2):319-28Five randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis investigating the comparative efficacy between intramedullary fixation and plate fixation in operative management of midshaft clavicle fractures. Results from meta-analyses significantly favoured intramedullary fixation over plate fixation for operative duration, incision length, time to union, and Constant score function. The rate of certain complications were also lower with intramedullary fixation (superficial infection, symptomatic hardware, hypertrophic scarring), though there were no differences observed for incidences of implant failure, nonunion, or refracture.
