Purpose: Most clavicular fractures can be healed by conservative treatment, although there are many factors that influence healing. The aim of the present study was to analyze factors that influence (i) bone union of midshaft fractures of the clavicle treated conservatively and (ii) bone functioning, after union. The long-term goal was to determine which treatments are adequate. Materials and M...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the anatomic changes in the shoulder joints responsible for omalgia after the clavicular hook plate fixation under arthroscope. METHODS Arthroscopic examination was carried out for 12 omalgia patients who underwent clavicular hook plate fixation due to distal clavicle fractures. Functional outcome of shoulder was measured by the Japanese Orth...

Sadacharan D, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-220010 DESCRIPTION Bony metastases are not infrequently encountered with follicular carcinoma of thyroid. Rarely, papillary thyroid carcinoma spreads to bones; however, anterior chest wall (sternal and clavicular) involvement are rare. A 54-year-old man with long-standing (~25 years) multinodular goitre presented with recent-onset rap...

hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. we present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. clinical and imaging (radiography, ct) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

BACKGROUND Many prior studies have evaluated shoulder motion, yet no three-dimensional analysis comparing the combined clavicular, scapular, and humeral motion during arm elevation has been done. We aimed to describe and compare dynamic three-dimensional motion of the shoulder complex during raising and lowering the arm across three distinct elevation planes (flexion, scapular plane abduction, ...

1. Illustration of case report in abstract was somehow different from illustration in the description as the case was explained as a 2 month old clavicle fracture in abstract & it was explained as 4 months old in description and different other time intervals also. 2. Itrogenic compartment syndrome manifestating a week after surgery would not happen,as there was no compartment at clavicle bone,...

BACKGROUND Few randomized controlled trials have compared operative with nonoperative treatment of clavicular fractures. METHODS Patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fractures were randomized either to nonoperative treatment with a sling or to operative treatment with a stainless steel 3.5-mm reconstruction plate. Outcome measures were the Constant shoulder score, DASH (Disabilities of...

the problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. by using the fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionallygraded strip containing a screw dislocation. the stress components reveal the familiar cauchy singularity at thelocation of dislocation. the solution is empl...
