INTRODUCTION Chest trauma may be blunt or penetrating and the chest is the third most common trauma region. It is a significant cause of mortality. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has been an increasingly used method to evaluate chest trauma because of its high success in detecting tissue and organ injuries. Herein, we aimed to present MDCT findings in patients with blunt and penetrati...

Pseudoaneurysms of the subclavian artery remain a rare complication after fracture of the clavicle. We report a case of delayed diagnosis of a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm after a closed fracture of the clavicle in a 15-year-old patient, 3 months after the original injury while playing rugby union. Despite several attendances to the Emergency Department with vague symptoms, the final diagno...

Current classifications of midshaft clavicle fractures are based on radiography. The aim the study was to evaluate fracture pattern using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT). A retrospective analysis performed CT scans 65 acute fractures. Using quantitative 3D reconstruction techniques, virtually reduced. Based these reconstructions, a group-based heat map and small fragment map, location...

BACKGROUND Clavicle fractures are common injuries in professional football. Surgical fixation of these injuries may lead to decreased nonunion rates, improved shoulder strength, and decreased residual functional impairment. PURPOSE To determine (1) return-to-sport (RTS) rate in National Football League (NFL) players after clavicle fracture open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), (2) post...
