Proximity of Vital Structures to the Clavicle: Comparison of Fractured and Non-fractured Side
Background: Previous anatomic and radiological studies have described the relationship of the clavicle to major neurovascular structures in healthy subjects. We were curious about this relationship in patients with a clavicle fracture and if it is different from non-fractured clavicles. Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients with a clavicle fracture between July 2001 and Octobe...
متن کاملClavicular length: the assumption of symmetry.
Recent studies have shown subjectively worse outcomes associated with 15 to 20 mm of clavicle shortening. As a result, more than 15 mm of shortening has become a relative indication for operative management. Various methods to quantify shortening have been described in the literature. All measurement techniques described assume clavicular symmetry to assess clavicular shortening. The goal of th...
متن کاملSignificant pneumothorax complicating a fractured clavicle.
Pneumothorax has been described as a complication of a fractured clavicle only three times. It is an important and potentially serious complication. This case report describes a fractured clavicle complicated by a significant pneumothorax which required chest drain insertion.
متن کاملReliability of measurements of the fractured clavicle: a systematic review
BACKGROUND The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of measurements of shortening in midshaft clavicle fractures (MSCF) using any available imaging technique. METHODS Electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane) were searched. The 4-point-scale COSMIN checklist was used to evaluate the methodological quality of studies. RESULTS Four ...
