- Clavicular shaft fracture is one of the most common fractures, which had been managed via conservative methods with some exceptions such as nonunion. Open treatment had been regarded even as important cause of nonunion and poor outcomes. Nowadays, however, the goal of fracture treatment has become anatomical reduction, rigid fixation and early rehabilitation for better final results.
According to this principle, we managed 21 clavicular shaft fractures with open reduction and internal fixation(12; plate fixation. 9; intramedullary pinning) since 1991 to 1993. All the fractures united within postoperative 10 weeks(mean 6.4) without any remarkabte complications such as nonunion, infection, and limited shoulder motion. In some intramedullary pinning cases. skin irritation at pin site was troublesome, but disappeared after removal of the pin.
Likewise other long bone fractures, open reduction and internal fixation seemed to be one of the useful method in the treatment of clavicular shaft fractures. especially in displaced, and comminuted ones.

Abstract

- Intramuscular hematoma in inner pelvic wall may not be a common problem for orthopaedic surgeons. It may be associated with fractures of pelvic bone, or bleeding tendency from various reasons.Usually these hematomae are managed conservatively because they have no harmful effect to the patient, their position makes it difficult to approach. Furthermore, the diagnosis of the hematomae is not simple, so suspicion is important for its diagnosis.
We experienced one case of delayed intramuscular hematoma in iliacus muscle in a 16-year old boy who had suffered blunt trauma to the pelvic area five weeks before. MRI had a significant role in the diagnosis of the hematoma. After evacuation of the hematoma, the patient recovered to normal status. Concerning about its unusual course and diagnostic significances of MRI, we report this case after reviewing of the Iiteratures.
