Clavicle fractures are common injuries, especially in young, active individuals. Operative treatment is recommended for completely displaced clavicle shaft fractures, and plate fixation is stronger th...
Thirty-eight clavicles from Japanese cadavers were analyzed. We removed all clavicles to identify the insertion sites and measured the size of the insertion area of each muscle. Three-dimensional temp...
The sternocleidomastoid muscle was attached proximally and superiorly; the trapezius muscle was attached posteriorly and partly superiorly; and the pectoralis major muscle and deltoid muscles were att...
Most of the pectoralis major and deltoid muscles were attached anteriorly. The non-attachment area was located mainly from the superior to posterior part of the clavicle midshaft. Both macroscopically...
The aim of the study was to investigate whether clavicular symmetry was a valid assumption and to assess the factors that could predict clavicular asymmetry....
Between January 2021 and April 2021, a total of 100 consecutive patients (61 males, 39 females; mean age: 63.6±15.5 years; range, 27 to 94 years) whose both clavicles were adequately seen on chest com...
The mean right and left clavicle lengths were 13.9±1.3 cm and 14.1±1.2 cm, respectively (p<0.001). A total of 29 patients (29%) had >5 mm clavicle asymmetry and six patients (6%) had more than 10 mm c...
Our study results showed that 29% of the patients had >5 mm clavicular length asymmetry. The clavicular symmetry may not be a valid assumption in the decision making for the surgical treatment of mid-...
We aimed to plot the growth curve of the fetal clavicle, identify gestational date-independent parameters. Using 2-dimensional ultrasonography, we obtained the clavicle lengths (CLs) from 601 normal f...
Depending on the severity of the injury and the involvement of the soft tissue envelope, clavicle fractures can be treated operatively or non-operatively. In the past, displaced fractures of the clavi...
The objective of this study was to retrospectively review clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who underwent corrective osteotomies for clavicle malunion and internal fixation for nonunion u...
Between 2015 and 2021, 18 patients underwent corrective osteotomy for a clavicle malunion (7 shoulders) or internal fixation for a clavicle nonunion (11 shoulders). There were 11 male and 7 female ind...
Radiographic evaluation at the most recent follow-up demonstrated adequate restoration of length and successful union for all shoulders. There were no complications or reoperations. Postoperative pati...
The use of mirrored 3D-printed clavicles combined with virtual surgical planning and patient-specific 3D guides provides a reliable technique for restoring native anatomy when performing corrective os...
There is no consensus on the type of surgical treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle due to its rarity. The purpose of this study is to provide evidence in favor of a surgical techniqu...
Systematic review of the literature and an analysis of the data for each subject, including all available subjects from the published series and clinical cases since 1990. Fisher's exact tests or T-te...
The literature search provides 305 articles; 30 were selected, reporting 191 patients and 194 clavicles. One hundred and fifty-one clavicles were operated on at a mean age of nine years and four month...
In the event of surgical indication for congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle, it is recommended to perform autograft and stable fixation (level 4) after seven years old (level 4)....
Osteomyelitis is defined as an inflammation of the bone caused by infection. Acute osteomyelitis is common in pediatrics. A Brodie abscess is a type of subacute osteomyelitis, with a historically low ...
Little research was available to explore which surgical fixation was better between fixation of both clavicle and scapula and clavicle alone in management of floating shoulder injury....
Total 69 patients with floating shoulder injury receiving surgery from February 2005 to July 2020 participated in the study. 49 patients underwent fixation of the clavicle alone (Group C) while 20 pat...
All people were followed up for at least 1 year. The degree of change in GPA before and after surgery in Group C + S is significantly better than that in Group C. The Herscovici and CSS score in Group...
Both types of surgical fixation are effective in management of floating shoulder injury. For young people with floating shoulder injury, both types of surgical fixation are equally effective. However,...
Clavicle fractures are among the most common orthopedic fractures, and treatment methods, operative versus nonoperative, have been a point of contention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ...
A review of the most cited articles related to clavicle fractures was conducted using Web of Science database. A search was conducted in April 2022 by one trained researcher. Two independent researche...
The mean number of citations was 179.1, ranging from 576 to 81 citations, and collectively cited 8954 times. The decade from 2000 to 2009 contributed the greatest portion of articles, with only a smal...
There is an increased influence of recent articles focused on clavicle fracture and management, due to the idea that conventional nonoperative treatment has a high rate of nonunion. Many of the most i...

Treatment of comminuted clavicle shaft fractures with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO)....
Multifragmentary (≥ 2 intermediate fragments) clavicle shaft fractures with no need for anatomical reduction (AO 15.2B and 15.2C). Even simple fractures (AO 15.2A) with significant soft tissue injurie...
Medial or lateral clavicle fractures as well as simple fracture pattern where anatomical reduction is indispensable....
Short incision over the medial and lateral end of the main fracture fragments. Either medial or lateral epiperosteal plate insertion. Under image intensifier guidance, the plate is centered either sup...
No immobilization is needed. Patients are encouraged to perform functional rehabilitation with active and passive physical therapy. Loading is increased according to radiological signs of bony consoli...
In a retrospective evaluation from 2001-2021, 1128 clavicle osteosyntheses were performed, of which 908 (80.5%) were treated with plate osteosynthesis and 220 (19.5%) with titanium elastic nail (TEN)....
