BACKGROUND Fractures of the clavicle are common injuries. The complications have been well documented in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION Despite it close proximity to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and myositis ossificans recognised as a known complication of any fracture, the two have never previously been described in association secondary to a fracture of the clavicle. We present a case ...

Introduction: Risk of Nonunion, residual shoulder disability and symptomatic malunion are higher in conservative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures which are reportedly decreased by operative method but plating these fractu profile anatomically precontoured plates may reduce the rates of plate prominence and hardware removal. Objective: To assess the rate of plate prominence, ra...

Clavicle fractures are common in adults and children. Most commonly, these fractures occur within the middle third of the clavicle and exhibit some degree of displacement. Whereas many midshaft clavicle fractures can be treated nonsurgically, recent evidence suggests that more severe fracture types exhibit higher rates of symptomatic nonunion or malunion. Although the indications for surgical f...

Introduction: Fractures of the clavicle are common and make up 5% 10% of all fractures. Treatment options in part depend on the location of the fracture along the bone and degree of displacement. These two parameters are best determined by good quality, standardized radiographs of the clavicle. We reviewed the literature to determine the optimal radiographs of clavicle fractures and their influ...

A seven month old infant presented with excessive crying on handling following recovery from a generalized tonic clonic seizure. On examination he was noted to have swelling and tenderness over his left clavicle. There was no history of trauma. Chest radiograph disclosed undisplaced fracture of left clavicle at the junction of outer third and middle third. The fracture was attributed to the sei...

Simultaneous middle third clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a rare combination injury, as a result of high-energy trauma. We report a patient with a middle third clavicle fracture and ipsilateral grade three-acromioclavicular joint dislocation, which is a rare combination. The patient wanted to get back to work as soon as possible, so the fracture was fixed with recon...

Clavipectoral fascial plane block combined with superficial cervical plexus has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic technique in mid-clavicle fracture surgeries. The authors describe two cases which patients underwent extraction of osteosynthesis material from the clavicle, using clavipectoral postoperative period. mentioned presented itself easy-to-perform technique, apparently safe effec...

Stress fractures of the clavicle are rare. This is the report of one such fracture in a 10 year old female gymnast, who presented with a six week history of medial clavicular pain. Radiographs and a computed tomography scan showed an undisplaced fracture through the medial third of the clavicle extending inferiorly to the rhomboid fossa in the inferior aspect of the clavicle. Pathological fract...

Background and Purpose. Displaced middle third clavicle fractures are traditionally treated non-operatively and heal with residual deformity. Few studies assessed treatment success by using patient-oriented outcome measures or objective muscle strength testing. The purpose of our study was to determine whether clavicle malunion affects functional results. Methods. Union was documented in 25 pat...
