A clavicle fracture, also known as a broken collarbone, is a bone fractureof the clavicle.[1] Symptoms typically include pain at the site of the break and a decreased ability to move the affected arm.[1] Complications can include a collection of air in the pleural spacesurrounding the lung (pneumothorax), injury to the nervesor blood vesselsin ...
The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints. The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is the major joint of the shoulder, but can more broadly include the acromioclavicular joint. In human anatomy, the shoulder joint comprises the part of the body where the humerus attaches to the scapula ...
Orthopedics. Diagnostic method. X-ray, MRI. A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [ 1 ]
Arm sling, specific exercises, surgery [3] Frequency. Common [4] A proximal humerus fracture is a break of the upper part of the bone of the arm (humerus). [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the shoulder. [1] Complications may include axillary nerve or axillary artery injury. [3]
The shoulder joint is made up of three bones: the shoulder blade (scapula), the collarbone (clavicle) and the upper arm bone (humerus). The acromion is a bony process at the end of the scapula The shoulder is a complex mechanism involving bones, ligaments , joints , muscles , and tendons .
Scapular fracture is present in about 1% of cases of blunt trauma [1] and 3–5% of shoulder injuries. [4] An estimated 0.4–1% of bone fractures are scapular fractures. [2] The injury is associated with other injuries 80–90% of the time. [1] Scapular fracture is associated with pulmonary contusion more than 50% of the time. [8]
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the scapula and the humerus. The socket of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is itself quite shallow, but it is made deeper by the addition of the glenoid labrum. The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilaginous fibre attached to the circumference of the cavity.
A separated shoulder, also known as acromioclavicular joint injury, is a common injury to the acromioclavicular joint. [ 2 ] The AC joint is located at the outer end of the clavicle where it attaches to the acromion of the scapula. [ 2 ] Symptoms include non-radiating pain which may make it difficult to move the shoulder.
