Acute Rupture of Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Delayed Osteosynthesis of Clavicular Fracture: A Case Report: Oog Jin Shon, Jee Hoon Kim, Kang Hyun Park; J Korean Fract Soc 2014;27(1):82-87. Published online January 31, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2014.27.1.82

Abstract PDF: Subclavian vessels are well protected by muscles, fascia and sheaths, so vascular complications associated with clavicular fractures are rare. Pseudoaneurysms after clavicular fractures have been reported, and the occurrence or rupture of pseudoaneurysm has been reported rarely as a late complication. However, cases of pseudoaneurysm after rupture of the clavicular fracture following delayed osteosynthesis of the clavicular fracture have not been reported. A 58-year-old female that presented with a right clavicular shaft fracture obtained conservative treatment. Surgery was performed after 4 months because of non-union in the local medical center. After operation, rupture of the subclavian pseudoaneurysm occurred following osteosynthesis of the clavicular shaft fracture. We report this case here with a review of the literature.

False Negative Bone Scan in 56-year Old Man with L2 Compression Fracture Performed 78 Hours after Trauma: A Case Report: Jeong Gook Seo, Hae Kyun Joo, Sung Tae Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(4):386-390. Published online October 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.4.386

Abstract PDF: It is very rare that the bone scan after 72 hours from the trauma doesn't exhibit the increased radio-nuclide uptake in the patient with fracture. The purpose of this study is to report the case that indicate the false negative finding in the bone scan performed after 78 hours from the trauma in the 56-year-old man with L2 compression fracture, including a review of the relevant literatures.
