Only the coracoclavicular ligaments, coracoacromial ligament, the clavicle, and the scapula were preserved. |
Associated fractures of the coracoid process or the lateral one third of the clavicle may occur, necessitating an orthopedic referral. |
Rib, clavicle, brachial plexus, and pulmonary injuries are commonly associated with scapula fractures. |
Fractures of the humerus, scapula and clavicle usually result from a direct blow or a fall onto an outstretched hand. |
Atraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle is an unusual injury that occurs most often in weightlifters. |
Radiographs show superior displacement of the clavicle and complete dislocation of the joint with weights. |
