Article Abstract
Introduction: Medial clavicle fractures are rare injuries. Symptomatic nonunion arises up to 8% of medial clavicle fractures when treated conservatively.
Presentation Of Case: A 53-year-old man sustained a left medial clavicle fracture and was treated conservatively at another hospital. Nine months after his initial injury, he was referred to our institution. We diagnosed pseudarthrosis of the medial clavicle. We performed open reduction and internal fixation using an inverted distal clavicle locking plate. At the 1-year follow-up, radiographs showed bone union.
Discussion: This is the first reported case of medial clavicle pseudarthrosis treated with an inverted distal clavicle anatomical locking plate. There are several advantages in using this plate.
Conclusion: This method is a good treatment option.

The association of clavicular, coracoidal and coracoclavicular radiographic tunnel position with loss of reduction after bidirectional acromioclavicular joint stabilization.

Introduction: Loss of reduction (LOR) is common after acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) stabilization. Tunnel position is a possible risk factor but has not been investigated after bidirectional stabilization. The aim was to analyze if clavicular, coracoidal and coracoclavicular (CC) radiographic tunnel position would be associated with LOR and clinical outcomes after bidirectional ACJ stabilization.

Introduction: Triple-segment injury of the clavicular axis involving simultaneous medial clavicle (MC) fracture with sternoclavicular (SC) and acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations is extremely rare and poses significant diagnostic and management challenges. Early recognition and tailored intervention are critical to optimize functional outcomes.
Presentation Of Case: We report a case of a 70-year-old male with a history of prior contralateral clavicle fixation, who sustained a triple-segment injury following a motorcycle accident.
Lateral clavicle fractures: grid pattern arrangement of screws in the lateral fracture fragment reduces the cut-out.

Introduction: Lateral clavicle fractures often need to be stabilized by a plate osteosynthesis and due to the acting high forces a cut-out of the screws of the lateral fracture fragment can occur. New plates enable to place anterior screws in addition to the screws placed from the top of the clavicle. This experimental in-vitro study will determine whether they have a substantial biomechanical effect.

Introduction: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a benign, noninfectious, self-limiting inflammatory bone disease that predominantly affects children and adolescents, characterized by multiple, recurrent osteolytic and sclerotic lesions typically involving the metaphysis of long tubular bones, clavicle, spine, and pelvic. The clavicle, particularly its medial end, is the most common and characteristic site affected.
Case Report: A 13-year-old boy presented with a 5-month history of acute gradually progressive, dull aching pain over the bilateral hip radiating to the thigh, knee, and ankle.

Introduction: The common carotid artery (CCA) bifurcation is a critical landmark in vascular surgery. There is a pressing need for a non-invasive, predictive method to accurately locate the CCA bifurcation. Using easily palpable anatomical landmarks, including the medial border of the clavicle (MBC), jugular notch (JN), and mastoid process (MP), we developed two new models for locating the CCA bifurcation and assessed their predictive reliability relative to a previously published method.
