Intraosseous hemangiomas occurring the clavicle is uncommon. Reconstruction of the clavicle is suggested to maintain the normal shoulder joint function and prevent adverse outcomes. Complex anatomy shape of the clavicle remains a great challenge for prosthetic reconstruction of the clavicle. A 37-year-old female with no conclusive history of trauma presented with progressive mass at the right lateral clavicle for 5 years. The patient was treated by surgical resection and reconstructed by three-dimensional-printed personalized prosthesis. Postoperatively radiographic examinations revealed a good position of the prosthesis, neither breakage nor loosening was detected. The right shoulder mobility returned to approximate level of preoperative shoulder 2 months after surgical reconstruction, with the range of motion of flexion 80°, extension 40°, abduction 80°, adduction 30°, external rotation 55°, and internal rotation 60°. The patient maintained the normal shoulder function during the 48 months follow-up period. There was no pain during shoulder motion. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS) score was 29 and the Functional Evaluation Form recommended by the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was 95. 3D-printed personalized prosthesis is a good option to reconstruct the lateral clavicle bone defect and restore the shoulder support structure. It maintains the normal shoulder joint function and avoids adverse effects on daily activities after claviculectomy.

: Clavicle injuries are common and seem to be frequently subject to diagnostic misclassification. The accurate identification of clavicle fractures is essential, particularly for registry and Big Data analyses. This study aims to assess the frequency of diagnostic errors in clavicle injury classifications.

Objectives: Lateral sagittal infraclavicular approach is frequently used because it has less risk of complications and provides rapid and adequate regional anesthesia. Due to the fact that the brachial plexus is deeper in the infraclavicular region and the approach angle is sharper, it can be technically challenging. In this study, we aimed to compare the costoclavicular approach, which is a newly defined approach, with the lateral sagittal infraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Background: Painful degeneration of the sternoclavicular joint refractory to nonoperative treatment has historically been managed with resection of the degenerative segment of the medial clavicle. Although this has produced good results with improvement in symptoms, recurrent pain necessitating revision surgery is not an infrequently encountered outcome. To reduce the occurrence of recurrent postoperative pain, a novel technique to reconstruct the intra-articular disc at the time of medial clavicle resection was developed.

Purpose: Clinicians monitor scoliosis progression using multiple radiographs during growth. During imaging, arms must be elevated to visualize vertebrae, possibly affecting sagittal alignment. This study aimed to determine the arm position that best represents habitual standing (and possibly allowing hand-based skeletal maturity assessment) to obtain frontal and lateral stereo-radiographs as measured using frontal, sagittal, and transverse angles.

Case: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman who sustained a left lateral sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation. Imaging demonstrated a 30-mm gap between the sternum and medial clavicle. Given well-preserved shoulder range of motion and well-controlled pain, she was ultimately treated nonoperatively.
