BACKGROUND Large multi-centre studies of clavicle fractures have so far been missing. The aim of this observational study was to describe the epidemiology, classification and treatment of clavicle fractures in the The Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) that collects national prospective data from large fracture populations. METHODS Data were retrieved from the SFR on all clavicle fractures susta...

BACKGROUND The clavicle is the most frequently fractured bone of the human skeleton. Most of fractures occur at the middle third of the shaft of the bone. Anatomical variations in the clavicle of relevance to form intramedullary fixation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was attempted to know about comparative differences between curvatures of the right and left clavicles, from certain me...

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 ...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

We observed a rare variant case of Poland syndrome in a 55-year-old male cadaver in gross anatomy dissection room at department of Anatomy school of Medicine. His past and family history was not remarkable. The outward appearance of anterior thoracic wall, deltoid and shoulder regions revealed obvious abnormalities. Upon dissection, the following features were observed: (1) On the right side, t...

objective the diagnosis of de morsier syndrome or septo-optic dysplasia is made on the basis of the diagnosis of optic nerve hypoplasia. septo-optic dysplasia is defined by a variable combination of dysgenesis of midline brain structures including optic nerve hypoplasia and hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction often associated with a wide variety of brain malformations of cortical development. th...

Introduction Clavicle fractures are common injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons, with most injuries managed nonoperatively. Operative fixation of clavicle fractures is indicated in specific clinical scenarios such as open injuries, ipsilateral shoulder trauma, or fractures with associated neurovasculature compromise. Operative fixation is not widely accepted for closed injuries and is typica...

INTRODUCTION Shoulder separations are common injuries. Controversy exists over the optimal treatment. More importantly, no single reconstruction technique is widely accepted. Current operative management focuses on primary healing or reconstruction of the ligaments using local tissue or free tendon grafts with supplemental fixation. The objective of these techniques is to maintain reduction lon...

Higher rates of poor outcomes in displaced midshaft clavicle fractures treated nonoperatively have recently been reported. Along with expanding indications for operative fixation and increasing application of locked plate constructs, it is unknown whether complications related to bicortical penetration of the clavicle can be avoided using unicortical fixation. The purpose of this study is to co...

Introduction Clavicle fracture is one of the most common fractures in adults. The incidence in Western countries has increased during last decades along with mobile and energetic way of life. At present the incidence of clavicle fractures is 50-64/100 000 and it is decreasing with age, especially within men (1,2). Clavicle fractures are more common among men (68%) than women (32%) and within me...
