andibuloacral dysplasia [MIM 248370(Mendelian Inheritance in Man)] is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mandibular and clavicular hypoplasia, acro-osteolysis, delayed closure of cranial suturs and joint contractures.1,2 Moreover they may develop metabolic derangement as insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, and lipodystrophy.3, 4 It is shown that MAD is a genetically and ...

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy Abstract Background and aim of the study: The clavicle is a subcutaneous bone most frequently fractured at the junction of its lateral and middle third of the shaft. Anatomical variations of the curvatures of clavicle can be of relevance for surgical correction procedures like intramedullary or internal plate fixation. The aim of the present study was to obs...

Mutations in the PORCN gene cause the X-linked dominant condition focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH). Features of FDH include striated pigmentation of the skin, ocular and skeletal malformations. FDH is generally associated with in utero lethality in non-mosaic males and most of the currently reported male patients show mosaicism due to de novo post-zygotic mutations in the PORCN gene. There is only...

Medial clavicle fractures are uncommon, accounting for approximately 5 percent of all clavicle fractures. Vascular injuries are uncommon but are recognised as either an immediate complication due to transection of the vessel by the displaced fracture, or as a late complication, secondary to compression from abundant callus formation. We present an unusual case of positional venous insufficiency...

UNLABELLED Clavicle fracture is commonly treated conservatively. However uncommon complication can arise causing impingement. We report a patient who sustained distal clavicle fracture and was treated conservatively. However he developed persistent shoulder pain that affected his daily life. Shoulder impingement was diagnosed and arthroscopic subacromioclavicular decompression was done. Followi...

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 ...

A 58-year-old man undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator in his right subcostal area fell from his bed, leading to fracture of the right clavicle. Serial radiographs showed dislocation of the distal clavicle 2 months after the initial fracture. Lead parameters dramatically changed after dislocation of the distal clavicle. Radiography indicated that the device leads se...

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...

INTRODUCTION Simultaneous bipolar dislocation of the clavicle is uncommon and unusual, although it has been documented as panclavicular dislocation, floating clavicle, and complete dislocation of the clavicle. A review of the recent literature indicated that most bipolar clavicular dislocations have been treated non-operatively. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 23 year polytrauma patient w...
