Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 11. Med J Malaysia. 2003 Oct;58(4):621-4. Bipolar clavicular injury. Pang KP(1), Yung SW, Lee TS, Pang CE. Author information: (1)Department of Otolaryngology, National University Hospital, 5, Lower Kent Ridge Road, Singapore 119074, Singapore. While clavicular injuries are fairly common, bipolar clavicular injuries are not. They may involve dislocations at both ends of the clavicle, or a fracture at one end and a dislocation at the other. We present two cases; a patient with a bipolar clavicular dislocation, and another with a fracture in both medial and lateral ends of the clavicle with anterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint. Both were treated conservatively, with fairly good range of motion and return to normal activity.
