Clinical profile of patients with fracture of Clavicle
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
It is estimated that one in every twenty fractures is a clavicle fracture. In fact 44% of all shoulder girdle fractures are clavicle fractures. The importance of proximity to vital structures in the neck and thorax necessitates the early and proper management of these fractures. About more than threefold variation in porosity and moments of inertia were found along the length of the clavicle. The greatest porosity and moments of inertia were located in the variably shaped sterna and acromial ends. The central third is denser, smaller and circular
