AOA Orthopedic Specialists - Clavicle Injuries

https://www.arlingtonortho.com/condit... The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, sits on either side of the neck and serves as a connection between the shoulder blade and the sternum. The word “Clavicle” comes from the Latin clavicula ("little key"), because the bone rotates along an axis like a key when stretching the shoulder. As a particularly thin bone, impacts from falling on outstretched arms will easily fracture the Clavicle, and Clavicle fractures remain one of the most common bodily injuries. Patients at the highest risk of injuring a collarbone include those engaging in high impact sports such as wrestling, rugby and football . Vehicular accidents of all kinds also contribute to a high number of Clavicle injuries, due to the pressure exerted by the seatbelt when coming to a sudden stop. Signs that you may have a broken or fractured clavicle include swelling, tenderness and bruising around the neck, in conjunction with stiffness or pain when moving the shoulder. Although common, most collarbone injuries heal without serious medical intervention. Most cases resolve when treated with rest, ice, and Non Steroidal Anti inflammatory medication. In order to treat an injured Clavicle, an orthopedic physician may have a patient wear an arm sling to minimize the collarbones movement and speed up recovery by allowing the bones to fuse on their own. In extreme cases, a broken Clavicle could require reconstructive surgery.
