Case: We present the case of a 24-year-old woman who sustained a left midshaft clavicle fracture with acute subclavian artery compression, subclavian vein laceration, and complete brachial plexus palsy after a motor vehicle collision. The patient underwent urgent open reduction internal fixation of the clavicle and repair of the subclavian vein. Two years later, she underwent opponensplasty and flexor digitorum profundus tendon transfers.

Introduction Clavicle open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is an effective treatment for the surgical management of clavicle fractures. However, the literature surrounding the risk factors for readmission and reoperation following clavicle ORIF remains understudied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific risk factors for 30-day readmission and reoperation following clavicle ORIF.

Finite element analysis has become indispensable for biomechanical research on clavicle fractures. This review summarized evidence regarding configurations and applications of finite element analysis in clavicle fracture fixation. Seventeen articles involving 22 clavicles were synthesized from CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.

Cervical plexus block (CPB), like other types of regional anesthesia, represents an alternative anesthetic technique in those cases where the performance of general anesthesia (GA) carries an increased risk both for the patient and the outcome of the operative treatment. It has traditionally been used for years in carotid surgery as an alternative to GA, especially due to the possibility of superior monitoring - the awake patient. However, its effectiveness has been proven in other types of neck surgery, primarily in thyroid surgery, neck dissections, tracheostomy, central venous catheter insertion, clavicle surgery, etc.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular injuries frequently associated with trauma such as clavicle fractures. In this paper we describe the case of a 49-year-old male who developed a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bicycle accident. The diagnosis was delayed due to non-specific symptoms and an initially missed aneurysm on computed tomography imaging.
