Fracture Of The Clavicle With Typical Displacement Of The Fragments

Illustration from 'Atlas and Epitome of Traumatic Fractures and Dislocations' (by Dr. H. Helferich), 1902. The seat of fracture is at the junction between the sterual and middle third of the bone. The fragments present marked overriding. The sterual fragment is displaced upward by the pressure of the outer fragment and the pull of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. In the illustration the sternocleidomastoid muscle is readily recognized bchind the outer boundary of the neck is formed by the trapezius muscle the deltoid is dissected out and the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major has been in part removed. Within the fenestra thus produced we see the fractured clavicle with the subcla vian muscle hugging its lower surface and the first rib. Bchind the clavicle the large vessels and nerves are shown. As a result of the fracture the arm is brought nearer to the trunk and the axillary cavity therefore contracted the arm hangs down the right elbow being lower than the left..
