  Introduction: Clavicle fractures are common across both adults and paediatric populations. Furthermore, gender differences in clavicular anatomy are well-documented, with male clavicles often measuring longer and thicker than their female counterparts. We aimed to elucidate disparities in surrounding vasculature, between genders, as well as within the same patient. The greatest proportion of these fractures occurs within the middle third of the clavicle. These fractures are often treated conservatively and, in some cases, can lead to complications of malunion and more rarely non-union, which may require surgical intervention. However, these surgeries present the risk of iatrogenic complications which include but are not limited to neurovascular deficit, hardware failure and scarring. The aim of this study is to better understand the relationship between major vascular structures surro.. Read More»
