Clavicle Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1260953-overview

Historically, clavicle fractures have been considered best treated nonoperatively, with good outcomes. Management typically included the use of either a shoulder sling or a figure-of-eight brace. The vast majority of these fractures healed, with variable amounts of cosmetic deformity. Recently, studies have examined the different patterns of displacement and clinical...

Clavicle Fractures Why Surgical Intervention Works Medscape

Location: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/540966

In the United States, clavicle fractures account for 5% of fractures seen in emergency departments. Approximately 80% of fractures are in the middle third; 15% are in the lateral third; and 5% involve the medial third. Historically, clavicle fractures have been treated nonoperatively with good functional outcomes. Nonoperative management usually...

Clavicle fractures Orthopaedia

Location: http://www.orthopaedia.com/display/Main/Clavicle+fractures

Clavicle fractures are common, and perhaps thus not particularly interesting.
Two points demand your attention. First, it has long been thought that malunion (or even non-union) of clavicle fractures was well tolerated and imposed little morbidity. For that reason, it was likewise thought that these fractures could be treated with almost...

Surgical treatment of scapular fractures

Location: http://www.aott.org.tr/index.php/aott/article/viewFile/851/412

Objectives: To evaluate the findings and results in patients who were treated surgically for scapular fractures. Methods: Six patients (4 females, 2 males; mean age 40 years; range 25 to 59 years) with scapular fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. All the fractures were caused by traffic accidents and all the patients...

Clavicular Injuries eMedicine Sports

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/sports/topic25.htm

The descriptions of treatment of clavicle fractures date back to Hippocrates. Over time, numerous descriptions have been made of fracture reduction techniques, with the prevalent figure-of-8 bandage described by Lucas Championnière around 1860. The earliest description of a sports-related clavicle fracture dates to 1702, when William III died following an...

Plate Fixation of Midshaft Clavicle Fractures VuMedi

Location: http://www.vumedi.com/node/91627

Clavicle fractures are common in the adult patient. Classic treatment is nonoperative for midshaft fractures. But treatment options have recently been discussed controversially. In recent years, several studies demonstrated better results with operative treatment, especially for displaced fractures.
This video summarizes the current thinking on midshaft clavicle fractures and leads through...

Fractures of the distal third of the clavicle treated by hook plating

Location: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2254672

We retrospectively assessed the union and shoulder function following hook plate fixation in 18 patients with Neer type 2 fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle. The average age was 40 (range 22–62) years, and the mean follow-up was 25 (range 6–48) months. Fifteen patients had acute fractures and...

Segmental Fracture of the Clavicle

Location: http://semj.sums.ac.ir/vol8/apr2007/claviclefx.htm

Fracture of the clavicle is a common traumatic injury and comprises 4% of all fractures in adults. Amongst these, midshaft injuries account for the majority and medial fractures are uncommon. Whilst segmental fractures have been reported in the literature, concurrent lateral and medial injuries are very rare. Mechanism of clavicular...

Fractures of the coracoid process

Location: http://www.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/reprint/77-B/3/425

We have reviewed 12 fractures of the coracoid process. In two of these patients the fracture extended into the body of the scapula and resulted in displacement of the glenoid. In some cases, there were associated acromioclavicular and glenohumeral dislocations or fractures of the clavicle and the acromion. Two patients...

Arthroscopic Fixation of a Type II–variant, Unstable Distal Clavicle Fracture

Location: http://www.orthosupersite.com/view.asp?rID=32937

Nonunion is a relatively common outcome of nonoperative treatment of unstable distal clavicle fractures. Although not all nonunions are symptomatic, a comparative study showed that patients treated nonoperatively had higher incidences of local complications, residual shoulder dysfunction, and nonunion than those treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Therefore, many...

Clavicle Fractures and Dislocations eMedicine Radiology

The clavicle derives its name from the Latin word clavicula, or small key, because of its unique curvature. Despite the high frequency of injuries to the clavicle, our understanding of its injuries and function is based on only a modest amount of data. It has long been thought that the...

A Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique to Treat Distal Clavicle Fractures

Location: http://www.orthosupersite.com/view.asp?rid=41205

This article describes a minimally invasive technique used for the treatment of distal clavicle fractures. The technique uses a double-button device that stabilizes the fracture and does not require subsequent hardware removal.

Floating Shoulder eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic100.htm

Ipsilateral fractures of the clavicle and scapular neck, or floating shoulder injuries, are rare. They result from high-energy trauma and have a high incidence of associated injuries, likely contributing to their underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Understanding the pathologic anatomy and appropriate treatment is important to minimize the sometimes-significant morbidity from this...

The floating shoulder

Location: http://www.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/reprint/74-B/3/362

In ipsilateral mid-clavicular and scapular-neck fractures, the mechanical stability of the suspensory structures is disrupted and muscle forces and the weight of the arm pull the glenoid fragment distally and anteromedially. To prevent late deformity we recommend internal fixation of the fractured clavicle by a plate and screws. We treated...

Displaced Clavicle Fractures

Location: http://www.carletonsportsmed.com/contro2.htm#10

The controversy concerns the best management of the young athlete with the completely displaced clavicle fracture. Is the optimum management a figure of 8 bandage, with a high incidence of delayed and non-union, or an open operation with complications such as loss of fixation and non-union?

Scapular Fracture Emedicine Emergency

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/826084-overview

The primary function of the scapula is to attach the upper extremity to the thorax and provide a stabilized platform for upper extremity movement. The scapula is attached to the clavicle by the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments and articulates with the humerus. The scapula is protected by its surrounding musculature...
