  Simultaneous mid 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 recons...

INTRODUCTION The clavicle, humerus and acromioclavicular (AC) joint separately are very commonly involved in traumatic injuries around the shoulder. Acromioclavicular joint dislocation with distal clavicle fracture is a well recognized entity in clinical practice. AC joint dislocation with mid shaft clavicle fracture is uncommon and only few cases have been reported in literature. However, to t...

RATIONALE Simultaneous bilateral mid-clavicle fracture with unilateral dislocation of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint is an extremely rare injury combination. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we report a case of polytrauma in a 42 years old female following a road traffic accident. DIAGNOSES The radiographs showed the fractures in bilateral middle third of the clavicle and AC joint dislocation of ...

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 october ...

IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● January 2016; 5(1) 991 Original article A clinical study on role of different types of plates in surgical management of middle one third clavicle fracture in adults Garg V, Agarwal A ABSTRACT Background: Fractures of the clavicle is one of the most common injures of human skeleton. It has been traditionally treated nonoperatively. Objectives: The present study was undert...

INTRODUCTION Current recommended treatment for middle-third clavicle fractures is limited to the use of ice, analgesics, a sling, and rest. Radiography for these fractures would be superfluous if physicians could accurately identify them by clinical examination alone. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether emergency physicians can accurately diagnose clavicle fractures, and ...

ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown a high prevalence of symptomatic malunion and nonunion after nonoperative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. We sought to study the result of surgical treatment of displaced mid-shaft fracture of clavicle. Forty mid shaft clavicle fractures in adults, displaced with initial shortening of more than 15 mm, were treated with primary internal fixa...

The S-shaped clavicle poses a problem for intramedullary pin fixation. Stability of fracture fixation is closely related to the length of intramedullary pin engagement. This study was carried out to determine the engagement length of intramedullary pins into clavicular fractures using a small and a large pin. Seven pairs of fresh cadaveric clavicles were prepared and arranged into Group 1 and G...

Clavicular fractures commonly occur in adults and children. The usual mechanism of injury is a fall on the outstretched hand or direct trauma. The usual site of these fractures is the mid clavicle with lateral end and medial end clavicular fractures being less common, respectively. Segmental clavicular fractures have been reported in the literature; they usually occur at the medial and lateral ...
