Goltz syndrome or focal dermal hypoplasia is a rare syndrome with mesoectodermal hypoplasia. This syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder with involvement of the cutaneous, ocular, dental and skeletal systems. The most significant feature of this disease is connective tissue dysplasia. Here, we report a 30-year old woman who presented with congenital unilateral linear atrophic areas on her tr...

INTRODUCTION Injuries around shoulder and clavicle are quite common. Injuries involving lateral end of clavicle involving acromioclavicular joints are commoner injuries. In this rare injury, we report about a case involving clavicle and scapular spine fracture with acromioclavicular disruption which has never been described in English literature as per our knowledge. CASE REPORT A patient wit...

clavicular bone tumors occur in less than 0.5 percent of bone tumors. primary chondrosarcoma is very rare even among clavicle tumors. the main symptom is a touchable mass in 69 % of patients. dedicated centers using fna and cytology can reach a correct diagnosis in 94% of cases. treatment planning is done using simple x-ray, ct-scan, shoulder mri, chest ct-scan, and whole body technetium scan. ...

osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor that usually arises in the craniofacial bones and rarely in the long bones. clavicular involvement is extremely rare. we report a 51-year-old woman with osteoma of the left clavicle. radiograph of the left shoulder showed a well-defined lobulated blastic mass in the proximal and mid-portion of the left clavicle. bone scintigraphy was performed 4 hours afte...

Our goal was to present current data on the incidence of clavicle injuries presenting for urgent evaluation and to report the sports activities associated with injury. Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of U.S. hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to ext...

Condensing osteitis of the clavicle is a benign disorder leading to osteosclerosis of the medial end of the clavicle. The differential diagnosis between condensing osteitis of the clavicle and ischaemic necrosis of the medial clavicular epiphysis (Friedrich's disease), osteoid osteoma, and low grade osteomyelitis can be difficult. In the case history reported here, magnetic resonance imaging wa...

BACKGROUND Although it is generally known that clavicle fractures represent a common injury of the shoulder girdle in the general population, the true incidence in the active duty military population is unknown. Given the implications for such injuries on the ability to perform occupation-specific tasks, determining the incidence in the U.S. military population is worthwhile. The purpose of thi...

binder’s syndrome is an uncommon entity characterized by midfacial hypoplasia along with class iii incisal relationship. the individuals with this syndrome are easily recognizable and the syndrome is mostly associated with other malocclusions. the current article presents two cases of this rare syndrome and describes its general features. key words: binder’s, midfacial hypoplasia, maxillofacial...

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...
