Article Abstract
Background: Neonatal clavicular fractures represent the most common fracture during delivery. We aimed to define risk factors associated with these fractures in a large population-based database.
Methods: Data were extracted from Clalit Health Services' electronic health records from 2000 to 2020. Newborns with clavicular fractures were compared with a healthy control group. The following parameters were compared-for the newborns: sex, birth weight, birth height, and head circumference; for the delivery process: assisted delivery, cesarean section, use of epidural, birth week, and number of fetuses; and for the mother: age at delivery, socioeconomic status, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI).
Results: We found a rate of 0.28% for neonatal clavicular fractures (5015 clavicular fractures/1 755 660 deliveries). Male gender and heavier birth weight were found to be significantly associated with clavicular fractures ( P < .001). Increased risk was also associated with lower socioeconomic status, baseline weight, and maternal BMI ( P < .001 for all). Assisted delivery increased the risk of clavicular fracture (OR = 2.274; 95% CI, 1.661-3.115; P < .0001), while cesarean section and use of epidural were found to be protective (OR = 0.149; 95% CI, 0.086-0.26; P < .0001; and OR = 0.687; 95% CI, 0.0531-0.89; P < .004, respectively).
Conclusions: This study provides insight into the risk factors associated with neonatal clavicular fractures on the largest group of patients reported to date.

Dokuz Eylul University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Occupational Medicine, Turkey.
Jockeys endure considerable physical and psychological demands, rendering them vulnerable to occupational injuries such as fractures, concussions, and soft tissue damage. This descriptive case series presents the medical and occupational histories of three professional jockeys with long-term disabilities following work-related accidents. Each individual commenced their jockey career in early adolescence.

Background: This study assessed the functional outcomes and complications of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using precontoured superior clavicle locking plates for displaced midshaft clavicular fractures.
Methods: In a prospective two-center study at Al-Thawra Modern General Hospital and Kuwait University Hospital, Sana'a, Yemen, from January 2018 to September 2024, 65 patients (≥18 years) with closed, displaced midshaft clavicular fractures (displacement >2 cm, shortening >2 cm, comminution, or skin tenting) underwent ORIF. Functional outcomes were evaluated six months postoperatively using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating score.

Department of Anesthesiology, Kobe Ekisaikai Hospital, Kobe, Japan.
Background: Guidelines recommend prophylactic chest tube placement in patients with traumatic pneumothorax who require positive pressure ventilation to prevent tension pneumothorax. However, chest tube insertion is not without complications, and avoiding it when safely possible is desirable.
Case Presentation: A man in his 50 s with a left clavicle fracture and mild left-sided occult pneumothorax on computed tomography was scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia.

: Adolescent diaphyseal clavicle fracture surgery has increased in recent years. However, the optimal operative method remains debated, particularly between elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and plate fixation. This study compared postoperative outcomes and complication rates between ESIN and plate fixation for treating diaphyseal clavicle fractures in adolescent patients.

Purpose: To assess the healing outcomes of patients who sustained a comminuted clavicle fracture and underwent operative fixation with or without the addition of demineralized bone matrix (DBM).
Methods: A total of 271 comminuted midshaft clavicle fractures that presented to our hospital system and underwent operative fixation with a plate and screw construct were retrospectively reviewed. Data collected include patient demographics, initial injury information, and use of demineralized bone matrix during surgery to enhance bone healing.
