ROLE OF CLAVICLE CURVATURES IN FRACTURE STABILISATION: A STUDY IN EAST INDIAN POPULATION
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Clavicle is the only long bone which is horizontally placed. These stresses have led to the formation of curvatures, longer medial and shorter lateral curvatures. 70-80% of these fractures occur at the junction of medial two-third and lateral one-third of the shaft. This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS, Patna. Both the curvatures i.e. medial and lateral had more mean angulation on the left side as compared to the right side. The dominant hand side clavicle was found more curved and hence less-angled than the non-dominant hand side clavicle (i.e., left-hand side clavicle). Modes of life include the conditions and occupations embracing all spheres of human activity and labour. Various studies have confirmed the existence of morphometric asymmetries in different anthropometric or osteometric measurements, fingerprint patterns, skeletal maturation rates etc.
