Anteroposterior radiograph of the right clavicle of patient in case report 2 at the time of injury, showing similar-appearing distal-third clavicle fracture with superior displacement of distal fragment with no increase in coracoclavicular distance .
Source publication
We present a series of distal clavicle fractures in which the coracoclavicular ligaments remain intact to the proximal segment, but the distal aspect of the clavicle is displaced superiorly. The fractures sustained in this series are not described in any of the multiple classification systems currently in use for clavicular fractures. We present a...

... 23-year-old, right-hand dominant male also fell onto his dominant right shoulder when performing hand-to-hand com- bat training. He sustained a closed injury to his right clavicle, and radiographs demonstrated a similar-appearing distal-third clavicle fracture with a superiorly displaced distal fragment ( Fig. 3 ). He had no complaints of any paresthesias or numb- ness and was neurovascularly intact with no other injuries. ...

Background
When treated conservatively, unstable distal clavicle fractures demonstrate a high symptomatic nonunion rate. While a variety of surgical techniques have been described, many of these techniques are associated with high failure rates and hardware-related complications. The surgical technique used in this study has shown promising biomech...
We performed arthroscopically assisted coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization using a suture button device for modified Neer type IIb lateral clavicle fractures accompanied by CC ligament injury. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of this procedure. Six consecutive patients with modified Neer type I...
Background
Fracture of distal-end accounts for 20% of all clavicle fracture. In the situation of impaired bone healing environment such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), nonunion rates after surgery might increase. In the case where bone healing is unexpected, biological healing with tendon graft could be an alternative method to maintain bone reduc...
The aim: type 2B clavicle fractures with conoid ligament rupture are considered unstable. Although surgical treatment is recommended as the standard treatment modality for type 2B fractures, there is no consensus about the type of operative treatment. We aimed to evaluate results of surgical treatment with an anatomical distal clavicle plate using...
Objective:
To analyze fractures of the distal clavicle region in pediatric patients.
Methods:
Ten patients between the ages of five to eleven years (mean of 7.3 years) were observed. Nine patients were treated conservatively and one surgically. All the fractures were classified using the Nenopoulos classification system.
Results:
All the fract...

The shoulder is the most mobile and unstable of all the joints in the body, making it highly susceptible to instability and injury. Shoulder injuries often result from excessive or repetitive overhead arm motion. The 3 main categories of shoulder injury are instability, impingement, and rotator cuff injuries. Radiography is the most common screening modality for patients presenting with shoulder pain; however, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography also are used widely in diagnosis. Treatment for shoulder injury varies with each condition, and surgery may be indicated for major injuries. This article reviews diagnosis and treatment for both common and uncommon shoulder injuries, as well as techniques for preventing injury.
Emotional intelligence (EI), the ability to understand and manage emotions in oneself and others, is a valuable asset for health care professionals. This article discusses the emergence of EI, different notions about what constitutes EI, what EI looks like on the job, and simple ways to boost EI. Results of research studies examining EI in health care students and professionals also are reported.
To identify the perceived level of competence in teaching and assessing critical thinking skills and the difficulties facing radiologic science program directors in implementing student-centered teaching methods.
A total of 692 program directors received an invitation to complete an electronic survey soliciting information regarding the importance of critical thinking skills, their confidence in applying teaching methods and assessing student performance, and perceived obstacles. Statistical analysis included descriptive data, correlation coefficients, and ANOVA.
Responses were received from 317 participants indicating program directors perceive critical thinking to be an essential element in the education of the student; however, they identified several areas for improvement. A high correlation was identified between the program directors' perceived level of skill and their confidence in critical thinking, and between their perceived level of skill and ability to assess the students' critical thinking. Key barriers to implementing critical thinking teaching strategies were identified.
Program directors value the importance of implementing critical thinking teaching methods and perceive a need for professional development in critical thinking educational methods. Regardless of the type of educational institution in which the academic program is located, the level of education held by the program director was a significant factor regarding perceived confidence in the ability to model critical thinking skills and the ability to assess student critical thinking skills.
The selection of clinical education sites for radiography students is based on availability, access to radiographic examinations, and appropriate student-to-technologist ratio. Radiography program directors are not required to evaluate sites based on their educational validity (eg, the clinical instructor's knowledge of basic teaching and learning principles, how well the site communicates with the program, or the clinical instructor's involvement in professional organizations).
The purpose of this study was to determine if a set of 12 clinical education standards used in athletic training would be applicable and beneficial to radiography program directors when selecting clinical sites for students.
A survey concerning the applicability of the athletic training standards to radiography site selection was completed by 270 directors of radiography programs accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.
The survey results indicated the athletic training clinical education standards were considered applicable to the selection of clinical sites for radiography students and would be beneficial to radiography program directors when selecting sites.
