Titanium Elastic Nail System for Middle One-Third Clavicle Fractures: Impact on Functional Recovery.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Clavicle fractures are a common traumatic injury, often treated conservatively. However, displaced midshaft fractures present risks of complications such as delayed union and malunion. Surgical intervention, including open reduction and internal fixation and titanium elastic nailing system (TENS), offers better outcomes for these fractures. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TENS in treating midshaft clavicle fractures. Functional recovery was assessed using the Constant-Murley score, while radiological outcomes tracked fracture union. Aim and Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS in treating midshaft clavicle fractures, assess functional recovery using the Constant-Murley score, and analyze associated complications. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 patients aged 16-60 with middle-third clavicle fractures, treated with TENS at Chettinad Hospital between August 2022 and April 2024. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Constant-Murley score, and radiographs were taken to evaluate fracture union. Results: Results showed favorable outcomes with TENS, including a mean union time of 4.55 months and a mean Constant score of 81.7 after 6 months. Complications were minimal, including infection, intraoperative blood loss, and hardware irritation. TENS demonstrated its value as a minimally invasive, effective option for displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, providing both cosmetic and early functional benefits. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that TENS is a safe and effective treatment for displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, offering faster recovery, improved functional outcomes, fewer complications, and better cosmetic results, fulfilling its objective of assessing TENS effectiveness.
