McKee et al described a unique "shear fracture of the distal
articular surface of the humerus" which involved coronal fractures
of the capitellum and a portion of the trochlea. He described the
characteristic radiographic finding as the "double-arc sign" which
represents the subchondral bone of the displaced capitellum and
lateral trochlea ridge. Figure C and Illustration A (below)
demonstrate the radiographic "double-arc" finding. Figure A shows
a radial head fracture. Figure B shows an elbow dislocation. Figure
D shows a pediatric lateral condyle fracture. Figure E shows a
pediatric medial epicondyle apophyseal avulsion fracture.

Decreased elbow range of motion is the most common
complication after open reduction internal fixation of distal humerus
fractures. Per Galano et al, this loss of motion can arise from "a
variety of causes, including articular incongruity or adhesions,
capsular contractures, loose bodies, heterotopic ossification, and
prominent hardware."
Other complications include nonunion of the distal humerus (210%) and ulnar neuropathy (0-12%).

The posterior cord of the brachial plexus gives rise to the 1) upper
subscapular nerve 2) lower subscapular nerve 3) thoracodorsal
nerve 4) axillary nerves 5) radial nerve. The upper subscapular
nerve innervates the subscapularis. The lower subscapular nerve
innervates teres major and also subscapularis. The thoracodorsal
nerve innervates latissimus dorsi. The axillary nerves innervates
deltoid and teres minor. The radial nerve innervates the triceps,
brachioradialis, wrist extensors, and finger extensors. The
supraspinatus is innervated by the suprascapular nerve off the
upper trunk and therefore would not be affected by an injury to the
posterior cord. The anatomy of the brachial plexus is shown in
Illustration A.

1.
Reduction may result in tracheal injury
2.
They are usually stable following closed reduction
3.
They require fusion to hold the reduction

PREFERRED RESPONSE ▼ 4
From the Bicos article, “Anterior SC joint instability should primarily
be treated conservatively. The patients should be informed that
there is a high risk of persistent instability with nonoperative or
operative care, but that the persistent instability will be well
tolerated and have little functional impact in the vast majority.
Therefore, operative intervention for anterior SC joint instability is
mainly cosmetic in nature."

PREFERRED RESPONSE ▼ 5
Symptomatic acute posterior sternoclavicular dislocations in
adolescents should undergo open reduction and ligament
(costoclavicular) reconstruction with thoracic surgery back-up. In
patients younger than age 20-25, this is usually a physeal injury,
as the medial clavicular physis does not close until this age range.
Chronic anterior or posterior dislocations are recommended to be
treated conservatively, especially if not symptomatic.
The review article by Wirth and Rockwood notes the following
complications with posterior dislocation: respiratory distress,
venous congestion or arterial insufficiency, brachial plexus
compression, and myocardial conduction abnormalities. They
recommend reconstruction of the costoclavicular ligaments with
resection of the medial clavicular head as needed for unstable
injuries.
The referenced article by Waters et al noted 100% excellent shortterm outcomes in adolescents with open reduction and

or with suture fixation of the medial physis in physeal injuries.

Spontaneous atraumatic subluxaton of the sternoclavicular joint is
a rare condition and is generally associated with ligamentous
laxity. Higginbotham et al reported that spontaneous atraumatic
anterior subluxation of the sternoclavicular joint may occur during
overhead elevation of the arm. The majority of cases are not
painful, and the subluxation usually reduces with lowering the arm.
Surgery is rarely indicated. Nonsurgical management, including
patient education of the benign nature of the condition, is
recommended. Rockwood et al reviewed a series of 37 patients
with this condition and noted that at an average follow-up of eight
years, the twenty-nine patients who were treated non-operatively
had excellent results, with no limitations of activity or changes in
lifestyle. The eight patients who were treated operatively (group II)
had numerous problems, including noticeable scars, persistent
instability, pain, or limitation of activity that resulted in an alteration
in lifestyle. The referenced article by Higginbotham is a review of
atraumatic disorders of the sternoclavicular joint.

The clinical presentation is consistent with a chronic
sternoclavicular dislocation, which is defined as being greater than
3 weeks old. The 3D CT image shows posterior displacement of
Dr.Wael Abboud (Trauma OB Part 5)
the medial clavicle relative to the sternum. Chronic anterior or
posterior dislocations are recommended to be treated
conservatively, especially if not symptomatic. Nonoperative
treatment with immediate range of motion of the shoulder is
indicated in this patient.
The review article by Wirth and Rockwood notes the following
complications with posterior dislocation: respiratory distress,
venous congestion or arterial insufficiency, brachial plexus
compression, and myocardial conduction abnormalities. They
recommend reconstruction of the costoclavicular ligaments with
resection of the medial claviclar head as needed for unstable or

PREFERRED RESPONSE ▼ 3
Historically, displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, as seen in Figure
A, were managed nonoperatively. Recent literature has
demonsrated improved outcomes with operative management of
these fractures.
Khan et al review current concepts in the management of clavicle
fractures. For displaced midshaft clavice fractures, operative
treatment seems to result in improved patient and surgeon-based
outcomes, decreased rates of malunion and nonunion, and shorter
time to union.
Kim and McKee review recent evidence regarding the
management of clavicle fractures. For midshaft clavicle fractures,
the incidence of nonunion and symptomatic malunion with
nonoperative management is higher than previously believed.
They state that risk factors include 100% displacement,
comminution, increasing age and female gender.
Incorrect Answers
Answer 1. Recent randomized prospective trials have shown
improved short term shoulder function with operative management
of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.
Answer 2. Nonunion rates of 7-15% have been shown with
nonoperative management versus 2% with operative fixation
Answer 4. Earlier return to activities has been reported with
operative management
Answer 5. As with answer 2, there is a significantly higher rate of
nonunion with nonoperative management

Pediatric distal clavicle fractures are typically treated nonoperatively because of the great osteogenic capacity of the intact
inferior periosteum. The coracoclavicular ligaments remain
attached to the periosteum and new bone fills any remaining bony
gaps within the periosteal sleeve. Recent articles by Nenopoulos
et al recommend sling immobilization for the majority of fractures
(84%) and only attempt surgical fixation for children >8 years old
with severely displaced fractures (>2 cortical diameters). They
found excellent function with conservative treatment and union in
all fractures. Surgical care resulted in improved cosmetic
appearance.

Open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screw
constructs of displaced, shortened clavicle fractures has been
shown to lead to the best patient reported functional outcomes as
well as have the least incidence of nonunion and symptomatic
malunion. Factors associated with poor functional outcome as well
as nonunion in these injuries include fracture displacement >2cm,
fracture comminution, fracture displacement > 100%, female
gender, and advancing age. The referenced article by Khan et al is
an excellent review of the indications, treatment methods and
outcomes of clavicle fractures.

Robinson et al have shown that lack of cortical apposition,
comminution, female gender, and advancing age are the 4 factors
that contribute to nonunion.
The Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society in a randomized,
prospective study showed that for midshaft fracture in adults with
100% displacement, ORIF results in improved DASH and Constant
scores (p = 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively), lower nonunion (2
vs. 7, p=0.042) & lower malunion (0 vs. 9, p=0.001). Surgery
resulted in quicker radiographic union (16.4 weeks vs. 28.4 weeks,
p=0.001). However, 15% had hardware and wound complications.
At one year, the operative group was more likely to be satisfied
with the shoulder in general (p=0.002) and the appearance of the
shoulder in particular (p=0.001) in comparison to the nonoperative
group.
Prior studies have shown that greater than 2cm of shortening
treated non-operatively results in increased fatigueability and poor
outcome, but not necessarily nonunion. The Lazarides article
concluded that “Final clavicular shortening of more than 18 mm in
male patients and of more than 14 mm in female patients was
significantly associated with an unsatisfactory result.”
Studies have shown no difference in outcome when treated with a
Figure-of-8 harness compared to a simple sling.

The radiograph shows a comminuted clavicle fracture with
significant displacement. Indications for surgical fixation of clavicle
fractures include: open fractures, underlying neurovascular injury,
or impending open fracture from internal bony pressure causing
skin compromise. Relative indications for fixation include: greater
than 15 mm of shortening, greater than 100% displacement (no
bony contact), highly comminuted fractures, and polytrauma
patients.

Jeray et al review the evaluation and treatment of midshaft clavicle
fractures. They state "when midshaft clavicular fractures are
completely displaced or comminuted, and when they occur in
elderly patients or females, the risk of nonunion, cosmetic
deformity, and poor outcome may be markedly higher. Thus, some
surgeons propose surgical stabilization of a complex midshaft
clavicular fracture with either plate-and-screw fixation or
intramedullary devices. Further randomized, prospective trials are
needed to provide better data on which to base treatment
decisions."

Figure A shows an atrophic clavicular nonunion. Observation is the
wrong answer because the patient is symptomatic (if the patient is
asymptomatic an atrophic nonunion of the clavicle can be
observed unless neurovascular symptoms are present).
Intramedullary fixation is difficult because the pin has to pass
through thin atrophic ends of bone close to neurovascular
structures. Percutaneous pinning may cause distraction and
migration of K-wires is common.
In the two referenced studies, the authors note success in treating
these nonunions, when compression and lag-screw fixation
(absolute stability) is used in conjunction with cancellous autograft.

Patients who have nonoperative treatment of displaced midshaft
clavicle fractures have significant decreases in both strength and
endurance to approximately 80% of the contralateral side as
described by the McKee article. There was a trend correlating
shortening >2cm with poor outcome (p=0.06). Motion was found to
be preserved. In the Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society's
landmark randomized control trial of operative versus nonoperative
treatment for displaced clavicle fractures, patients treated nonoperatively had lower subjective outcomes scores, slower rates to
union, more nonunions, more symptomatic malunions, and were
less satisfied with the appearance of their shoulder. There were
more hardware related complications in the operatively treated
group. The second McKee article describes improvements in
subjective outcome scores after midshaft clavicle malunion
corrective osteotomy.

Andersen et al is a randomized controlled study showing
equivalent cosmetic and clinical outcomes with sling versus figure
of eight bracing despite increased sleep disturbances and
increased rate of personal care impairment. The second
referenced study by Nordqvist et al is a case series designed to
analyze the long-term outcome of mid-clavicle fractures in adults
and to evaluate the clinical importance of displacement and
fracture comminution. They found a 39/225 rate of moderate
shoulder pain with figure of eight bracing. Overall they concluded
that few patients with fractures of the mid-part of the clavicle
require operative treatment.

The posterior or modified Judet approach to the scapula is typically
used for internal fixation of scapular fractures. This approach
utilizes a transverse incision over the scapular spine with
detachment of the posterior deltoid. The interval between the
infraspinatus (suprascapular n.) and teres minor (axillary n.) is
identified and used to gain access to the posterior aspect of the
scapula and glenoid.
The reference by Obremskey et al argues the approach "combines
several important goals including: 1) exposure of all bony elements
of the scapula which have adequate bone stock for internal
fixation; 2) minimal trauma to the rotator cuff musculature; and 3)
protection of the major neurologic structures (suprascapular nerve
superiorly and axillary nerve laterally)." They believe "the main
advantage of the exposure is limiting muscular dissection, which
can potentially improve rehabilitation and limit morbidity of the
operation."

Surgical fixation of a scapular neck fracture is performed via the
Judet approach, a posterior approach to the scapula/glenoid. The
internervous plane is between the infraspinatus (suprascapular
nerve) and the teres minor (axillary nerve). As outlined by Ball et
al, the posterior branch of the axillary nerve has intimate
association with the inferior aspects of the glenoid and shoulder
joint capsule, which may place it at particular risk during a
posterior approach to the shoulder.

The radiographs are consistent with a Type I extra-articular glenoid
neck fracture, which by definition is not significantly displaced.
Type I fractures are best treated with a sling (2 weeks) and early
mobilization. Significantly displaced fractures (Type 2), as defined
by Goss, have translational displacement greater than or equal to
1 cm or angulatory displacement greater than or equal to 40°.
These typically need ORIF. A schematic of the fracture types is
shown in Illustration A.
McGahan et al review the epidemiology of scapula fractures and
advocate conservative treatment with early mobilization.
Van Noort et al reviewed 13 scapular neck fractures and found that
non-operative treatment in the absence of ipsilateral shoulder
injury and associated neurological impairment lead to good

Figures A and B show a scapulothoracic dissociation, with
significant lateralization of the scapula and widening of the
acromioclavicular joint to over 4 cm (Figure A). This can be
thought of as an internal disarticulation of the scapulothoracic
association and acromioclavicular joints.
The referenced article by Riess et al revealed that functional
outcomes are worse with brachial plexus injuries and concomitant
scapulothoracic dissociation than with isolated brachial plexus
injuries. In fact, at 2 year follow-up, only 57% of the dissociation
patients could carry anything over 5 lb with the injured side.

Scapulothoracic dissociation is a high-energy injury resulting from
massive traction injury to the shoulder girdle with disruption of the
scapulothoracic articulation. The most common long term result
from this injury is complete loss of motor and sensory function of
the extremity (flail limb), with death in the acute or semi-acute
period also common. The referenced study by Althausen et al
found that outcomes from this injury were: a flail extremity in 52%,
early amputation in 21%, and death in 10%. The other referenced
study by Ebraheim et al found that 12/15 patients had a complete
brachial plexus injury and that none recovered any function (the
other 3 patients died in the acute period).
