Abstract:
A rare case of a middle-third clavicle fracture concurrent with ipsilateral acromioclavicular dislocation in a 46-year-old women who had fallen off her bicycle is presented. The clavicular fracture was managed by locking plate osteosynthesis. The acromioclavicular joint was stabilised by traction osteorrhaphy that was removed at 7 weeks after the procedure. Both the radiographic and clinical outcomes were very good. The epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis and therapy of this injury are discussed.

Flail Chest-I
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.

Muscles that Move the Arm
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
