Abstract
Objective: To compare anterio-inferior and anterior-superior plating of mid-shaft displaced clavicle fracture with regard to complications, plate prominence, nonunion, malunion and range of motion.

First group; 15 patients fixed with anterio-superior plating and second group also 15 patients fixed with anterio-inferior plating.
