Unusual types of distal clavicular fractures: Two case reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distal clavicular fractures were classified by Neer in 1963. A type II fracture leads to a high rate of delayed union, or nonunion, with undesirable symptoms. Type II distal clavicular fractures usually exhibit superior displacement of the clavicle. We report two cases of distal clavicular fracture with inferior displacement and posterior displacement. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed in both patients, resulting in excellent functional outcome. As far as we know, this is the first report for these fracture patterns.

Avulsion Fracture of the Coracoid Process at the Coracoclavicular Ligament Insertion: A Report of Three Cases
Avulsion fracture at the site of attachment of the coracoid process of the coracoclavicular ligament (CCL) is extremely rare. We presented three adult cases of this unusual avulsion fracture associated with other injuries. Case 1 was a 25-year-old right-handed male with a left distal clavicular fracture with an avulsion fracture of the coracoid attachment of the CCL; this case was treated surg...
متن کاملTransclavicular Osseous Sutures for the Treatment of Displaced Distal Clavicular Fractures in Children.
We describe a novel surgical technique for the treatment of displaced distal clavicular fractures in children. These fractures are rare, and recommendations on treatment vary. Conservative treatment might lead to persistent deformity and limitations of function. Previous reports of surgical treatment involve fracture fixation with K-wires. This requires a routine sequential reoperation to remov...
متن کاملCorrective Osteotomy for Ipsilateral Distal Clavicular and Coracoid Malunions.
Malunion after double disruption injuries of the superior shoulder suspensory complex accompanied by shoulder pain and dysfunction has been reported infrequently. A 37-year-old man had a double disruption injury (fractures of the distal clavicle and the base of the coracoid process). Conservative treatment resulted in malunion. Twelve months after the injury, pain continued in the coracoclavicu...
متن کاملAn unusual case of bipolar segmental clavicle fracture
Segmental clavicle fractures are uncommon injuries. When they do present, they tend to comprise a distal and mid-shaft fracture. A clavicular injury with proximal and distal fractures is a rarer presentation still which is sparsely covered in the literature. These injuries, which have been termed bipolar, are easily missed at presentation and due to their infrequency the optimal method of manag...
متن کاملModified Tension Band Wiring in Adult Distal Humeral Fracture Types A2 and C1
Background: Distal humeral fractures accounts for approximately 2% of all fractures and nearly one-third of humeralfractures in adults. In this regard, Modified Tension Bind Wiring (MTBW) technique was used for the fixation of the distalhumeral fractures type A2 and C1 (AO) to evaluate the early movement and complications of the patients.Methods: This study was conducted on 25...
