Article Synopsis
- Clavicle fractures are common in emergency departments, while acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are rare and even more so when combined with clavicle fractures.
- A 29-year-old male patient experienced both an AC joint dislocation and a midshaft clavicle fracture, leading to surgical treatment that resulted in excellent recovery and range of motion after one year.
- The case highlights the rarity of this combination of injuries and stresses the importance of timely diagnosis and investigation to achieve favorable functional outcomes, although there's still no agreement on the best treatment approach.

The impact of specialization on the outcome of emergency colorectal surgery has not yet been well described.

This study aimed to compare the cost effectiveness and outcomes of plating and nailing for humerus diaphyseal fractures.
