Abstract:
The joining of the acromioclavicular dislocation and the fracture of the coracoid process is rather rare. The number of cases described in the world literature is under 20, in this country no such case was described yet. Author reports on a case treated with operation, that healed with good result. The viewpoints of the diagnosis and treatment of this injury are reviewed. The results of the conservative and operative treatment are hitherto equally favourable. Author thinks the operative treatment of injuries with complete dislocation reasonable.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
