Predictive Value of DeltoidTuberosity Index in PlateOsteosynthesis of ProximalF...
Seabra, Pedro; Gonçalves, Daniel; Pimentel, Miguel; Lourenço, Pedro; Frias, Miguel; Sarmento, AndréIntroduction: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are considered fragility fractures, with increasing incidence in the elderly. Several risk factors negatively influence osteosynthesis outcomes, including age, bone density and medial hinge comminution. Age ≥65 is often considered a decision threshold in treatment algorithms. The deltoid tuberosity index (DTI) is a simple, reproducible method to evaluate local bone...
Persistent clavicle swelling in the infant
Maciel, Juliana; Frias, Miguel; Capela, Mariana; Santos, MafaldaIntroduction: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare entity of unknown etiology. It is more common in girls and on the right side. Diagnosis is challenging and often performed after the neonatal period, triggered by persistence of a clavicular prominence initially attributed to traumatic birth fracture. Case Report: Herein is presented the case of a healthy ten-month-old girl with a right clavicle ...
