"Evaluation of Clinical and Radiographic Results of Pseudarthrosis of Clavicle Treated With Plaque and Screws" (CLAPS)

April 8, 2022 updated by: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli
This is an interventional study for clinical and radiographic evaluation of patients operated for pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle

Study Overview

Status

Terminated

Detailed Description

The aim of our study is to collect clinical and radiographic data from patients operated for pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle from 2007 to 2017 at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, in order to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of the treatment. This is an interventional study and patients will be contacted by telephone to verify their willingness to perform a visit (including a bilateral radiographic) at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: evaluation of clinical and radiographic findings after surgical treatment
Evaluation of clinical and radiographic findings at least 1 year after surgical treatment for pseudoarthrosis of clavicle
Pseudoarthrosis represents a complication following a fracture, resulting in persistent symptoms and functional limitation, which prolongs the recovery time for the patient and necessitates new surgery. The purpose of surgery for pseudoarthrosis is to re-establish the length and alignment of the clavicle in an environment favorable to the union of bone fragments.
