ASES results were higher in patients who received ORIF management compared to non-ORIF with a mean value of 98.52 ± 3.02 (p <0.001). Conclusion: There are differences in short-term clinical outcomes between patients with clavicle fractures who were treated with ORIF compared to non-operatives at RSUP HAM.
