Background: A clavicle fracture is one of the most common birth injuries. The objective of this study was to examine whether the decreased incidence of birth-related clavicle fractures in Finland is because of temporal changes in their predisposing factors.

Methods: For this nationwide population-based study, we used the Finnish Medical Birth Register and the Care Register for Health Care databases. The study population included all singleton, live-born newborn born spontaneously or by vacuum-assisted delivery, in cephalic presentation ≥37 weeks of gestation. The incidences of clavicle fractures, pregnancy characteristics, and risk assessments for fracture were calculated and compared between two time periods: 2004-2010 and 2011-2017.

Results: A total of 629 457 newborn were born vaginally between 2004 and 2017. The clavicle fracture incidence decreased from 17.6/1000 to 6.2/1000 live births. Shoulder dystocia, diabetes, and birthweight ≥4000 g were the strongest predisposing factors. The incidence of birthweight ≥4000 g decreased, meanwhile type 1 diabetes and shoulder dystocia remained stable and gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and maternal obesity increased in the later study period. The incidence of clavicle fractures without known predisposing factors declined. Simultaneously, the cesarean birth rate remained stable (13.2%-13.1%), although the rate of vacuum-assisted deliveries increased (8.5%-9.5%).

Discussion: The incidence of clavicle fractures decreased, even though the incidence of most risk factors remained stable or increased, and the cesarean birth rate remained stable. This decline may be related to the reduction of fracture incidence among deliveries without known risk factors, and the decrease in birthweight ≥4000 g.

Comparative Effectiveness of Nonoperative Versus Operative Treatment of Completely Displaced Clavicle Shaft Fractures Among Children.

Authors:
Tyler D Ames Charles T Mehlman Robert Toy Shital N Parikh

Orthopedics 2022 Aug 10:1-5. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

The goal of this study was to compare outcomes among children treated nonoperatively vs operatively for completely displaced clavicle fractures. This was a retrospective cohort study of nonoperative vs operative treatment of completely displaced clavicle fractures sustained between 2006 and 2015 among pediatric patients. Data were collected on patient demographics, fracture characteristics, time to return to full activities, treatment complications, and patient-reported outcome measures. Read More

Identifying Patients at Risk for Venous Thromboembolic Events After Isolated Upper Extremity Trauma: A Predictive Scale.

Joseph A Ippolito Brianna L Siracuse Joseph D Galloway Irfan Ahmed Michael M Vosbikian

Orthopedics 2022 Aug 10:1-8. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

Previous studies have defined risk factors for development of venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) among patients with lower extremity orthopedic trauma. Limited data exist on this risk after upper extremity orthopedic trauma. A total of 269,137 incidents of upper extremity orthopedic trauma (fractures of the clavicle, scapula, humerus, elbow, or lower arm) were identified in the State Inpatient Database for 4 states included in the analysis (California, Florida, New York, and Washington) from 2006 to 2014.

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic-assisted fixation using the Tight-rope system and clavicular hook plate fixation in the treatment of Neer IIB distal clavicle fractures.

Methods: We enrolled 48 consecutive patients with Neer IIB distal clavicle fractures who were treated at our institution from February 2016 and August 2020. These patients were divided into 2 groups based on the fixation method (16 cases with Tight-rope system and 32 cases with clavicular hook plate), and demographics and clinical characteristics of patients in different groups were compared.

Department of Surgery, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Hanzeplein 1, 9713GZ, Groningen, The Netherlands.

Background: Lateral clavicle fractures account for 17% of all clavicle fractures and large studies comparing nonoperative and operative treatment are lacking. Therefore, patients cannot be properly informed about different treatment options and prognosis. We assessed long-term patient-reported and clinical outcomes in patients with lateral clavicle fractures. Read More
