The rhomboid fossa of clavicle was studied globally by forensic experts and anthropologists to determine the age and sex. This study was done on samples of human clavicles from North Karnataka of South India to determine the sexual dimorphism which is of anthropological, forensic and clinical importance. In this study mid shaft circumference, morphology of rhomboid fossa of clavicle was analyse...

Clavicle fractures account for 2.6% to 4% of all fractures. Surgical stabilization of this type of injury is becoming more common. Anterior inferior plating and superior plating are 2 popular approaches to open reduction and internal fixation. Reports of plate removal have raised concerns about reinjury. The goal of the current study was to determine whether the orientation of screw holes in cl...

Flat nails and scutiform distal phalanges characterize the hands and feet of primates. However, these display a variety of forms and combinations: Lemuroidea and Lorisoidea have a distinct pedal grooming claw; Daubentonia has additional claws; Tarsius has two pedal grooming claws; Callithrichidae have claws on fingers and most toes. The adapoid primates Darwinius and Europolemur from Messel hav...

OBJECTIVE The clavicle is almost always seen in skull X-rays of infants. The objectives of this study were to determine how often the clavicle and clavicle fractures are visible but missed on the skull anterior-posterior view (skull AP) of infants and which factors are associated with missing the diagnosis. METHODS We retrospectively studied patients aged 1 year or younger who had a skull AP ...

We report a case of mediastinal lymphangioma associated with Gorham's disease in a 38-year-old man who had suffered recurrent clavicular fractures during a seven-year period. Mediastinal widening associated with osteolysis of the clavicles and the sternal manubrium was revealed by chest radiography, while computed tomography demonstrated a cystic anterior mediastinal mass infiltrating mediastin...

osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.
