“…24 Non-union is the lack of callus formation by several months after injury and is more likely with >20 mm of displacement of the fracture fragments. 25 Jones and colleagues report a non-union rate of 0.1%-15% depending on the individual circumstance. 21 In distal clavicle fractures, Anderson states that a non-union rate as high as 20%-30% can be expected and osteolysis and arthrosis of the acromioclavicular joint can also occur.…”

“…Andersen and colleagues report that the treatment with a simple sling causes less discomfort than a figure-of-eight brace and that the functional and cosmetic results for the 2 methods of treatment are identical. 32 There is a lack of evidence that a figure-ofeight brace reduces the fracture in any way, 25 and its application is not completely without risk because damage can occur to the nerves in the axilla due to compression by the brace. 27 Physical therapy involving range of motion exercises and strength training can be done as pain allows and return to normal activity can occur when the patient is asymptomatic.…”

“…11,17 The primary care physician can solely manage the patient who has an uncomplicated midshaft clavicle fracture, but referral to an orthopedic surgeon is required when the distal or most medial third of the clavicle is involved. 25,26 Other circumstances may warrant consultation with a specialist (Table 1), especially in any instance when the primary care physician is unsure of the appropriate treatment. The need for surgical repair of clavicle fractures in children is rare and its indication is debatable as emphasized by Kubiak and Slongo who describe the operative treatment of 15 children in a 21-year experience.…”

Perinatal clavicle fractures typically heal without complication, and subsequent refracture of the same clavicle during infancy or toddlerhood has not been reported. This is a case report of a fracture of the clavicle in a 9-month-old child who had previously suffered a fracture of the same clavicle at birth. A review of the evaluation and management of neonatal and post-neonatal clavicle fractures is also presented.

“…Due to its high mobility, the shoulder is the Human joint that has the most injuries in its tissues [1]. The rotator cuff is formed by the tendons of the subscapular, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and minor rotator cuff muscles that meet at the shoulder joint [2,3].…”

Behavior under Load of A Human Shoulder: Finite Element Simulation and Analysis

et al. 2019

Most musculoskeletal injuries occur during the work routines in different areas, due to repetitive and sustained movements, they are often located in the shoulder. For workers in the building sector, the repetitive movements and displacements occur under load and unnatural postures of the shoulder joint. For this reason, this study aims to model in 3D the biological components which form the shoulder joint for the later finite element analysis. Three cases with different loads have been considered for this study. Due to a linear and isotropic joint approach it has been possible to evaluate the tensions in the main components of the shoulders: muscles, tendons and ligaments. The methodology used allowed obtaining an improved mesh of the shoulder joint to analyse real situations with finite element method analysis with applications in the field of sports medicine, work, etc. Furthermore, the simplification adopted for modelling the joint muscles, as 1D elements in the finite element model has made it possible to establish different positions of human joint without mesh again each of the studied positions. The results are consistent with the states of applied loads. In fact, the maximum stresses in bones are in the insertion areas of the ligaments. Due to the static positions of the joint under study, the muscles do not support high stresses. According to the stresses distribution, the maximum values are in the zones of tendons. From the result analysis, it is observed how the stresses distribution in the cartilage area maintains coherence with reality since the maximum stresses appear in the lower half of the cartilage. In this area in which the Humerus-scapula contact is greater, the compression tensions are greater.

Analysis and Fem Simulation Methodology of Dynamic Behavior of Human Rotator Cuff in Repetitive Routines: Musician Case Study

et al. 2018

The majority of musculoskeletal injuries located in the shoulder are often due to repetitive or sustained movements that occur in work routines in different areas. In the case of musicians, such as violinists, who have long and daily training routines, the repetitive movements they perform are forced and sometimes the postures are not natural. Therefore, this article aims to study and simulate the dynamic behavior of the glenohumeral joint under repetitive conditions that represent the different postures assumed by a violinist during his daily training. For this purpose, the criteria provided by the RULA (rapid upper limb assessment) method have been used. Subsequently, by using as a reference geometry that of the articulation under study generated and modeled in CATIA®[VERSIÓN 5R21], a FEM analysis has been proposed with the software ANSYS®[VERSIÓN 17.1] simulating the short and cyclic movements of the Humerus of the violinists. With the analysis carried out, thanks to linear and isotropic approximations of the joint, it has been possible to know the approximate dynamic behavior of tissues, muscles and tendons, and the response of the joint in terms of fatigue.
