Background: For many years, researchers have attempted to describe shoulder motions by using different mathematical methods. The aim of this study was to describe a procedure to quantify clavicular motion.
Methods: The procedure proposed for the kinematic analysis consists of 4 main processes: 3 transcortical pins in the clavicle, motion capture, obtaining 3-dimensional bone models, and data processing.
Results: Clavicular motion by abduction (30° to 150°) and flexion (55° to 165°) were characterized by an increment of retraction of 27° to 33°, elevation of 25° to 28°, and posterior rotation of 14° to 15°, respectively. In circumduction, clavicular movement described an ellipse, which was reflected by retraction and elevation. Kinematic analysis shows that the articular surfaces move by simultaneously rolling and sliding on the convex surface of the sternum for the 3 movements of abduction, flexion, and circumduction.
Conclusion: The use of 3 body landmarks in the clavicle and the direct measurement of bone allowed description of the osteokinematic and arthrokinematic movement of the clavicle.

External Fixation of Clavicle Fractures with Comminution or in Highly Active Patients.

Conservative treatment of clavicle fractures has the disadvantage of substantial pain and discomfort, whereas internal fixation of these fractures has a high rate of non-union. External fixation is an alternative method permitting early mobilization without disrupting the surrounding soft tissue envelope. These are extremely beneficial in young, athletic and highly functional patients as well as in patients with comminuted fractures.

Obstetric brachial plexus injury (OBPI) is an important preventable complication of the birth process. While most cases recover in the early period, a substantial number result in sequelae. Despite established risk factors, there are cases that occur without any apparent risk factors.

Rationale: A simultaneous bilateral fracture of the middle clavicle is a very rare injury in clinical practice, and the necessity of surgical intervention and treatment modality remains a topic of debate.
Patient Concerns: We report a case of multiple injuries in a 40-year-old woman following a road traffic accident and another case of polytrauma in a 46-year-old man following a collision injury.
Diagnoses: The radiographs of the bilateral shoulder joints and the 3-dimensional reconstruction CT of the chest showed the fractures in the middle third of the clavicle on both sides.

Introduction: The presence of additional cervical ribs is a rare and relatively unknown pathology. The brachial plexus is most often compressed. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is the one of discussed of mixed compression syndromes, due to diagnostic difficulties and the lack of evidence to resolve the effectiveness of surgical treatment over conservative treatment.

The evolution of suspensory locomotion in primates has been of great interest to biological anthropologists since the early 20th century due to the contentious hypothesis that suspension in hominoids may have been a preadaptation for bipedalism. Studies of fossil hominoids regularly look for traits (or lack thereof) indicative of suspension, but many fossils exhibit potentially confusing mosaics of traits, and there is ongoing debate regarding whether certain traits are truly associated with suspension or whether they might more accurately represent allometric trends, developmental byproducts, or adaptation to cautious climbing. Here, I test the association between 27 morphological traits and forelimb suspension in extant primates using phylogenetically informed comparative methods, a broad comparative sample (nearly 1500 individuals representing 74 genera), and a systematic review of behavioral literature.
