Rare Bilateral Distal Clavicle Fractures: Characteristics and Treatment Options
Clavicle fractures account for 3%–5% of all adult fractures and approximately 32% of shoulder girdle fractures. Among these, the distal third of the clavicle is particularly susceptible due to its biomechanical vulnerabilities. Although bilateral distal clavicle fractures are extremely rare, they present unique challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment. This article explores the key features of bilateral distal clavicle fractures, their […]
Deforming Forces on the Fractured Clavicle: Understanding the Complex Dynamics
When a clavicle fracture occurs, the forces acting on the bone fragments are anything but simple. These deforming forces are driven by the muscles attached to the clavicle, leading to characteristic displacement patterns that can complicate healing. For orthopedic surgeons and healthcare professionals, understanding these forces is crucial for effective treatment and management of clavicle […]
