Types of Clavicle fracture in Human Body !

There is more than one accepted classification for clavicle fractures.  how it brakes?  Most clavicle fractures are caused by a fall or other direct trauma to the shoulder, usually with the clavicle bending and breaking over the fulcrum of the first rib. Falls on an outstretched hand, although commonly cited, account for a smaller percentage of clavicle fractures.   1. Craig's classification For Clavicle fracture: Group I- fracture of the middle one third (most clavicular fractures are the group I fractures; Group II -fracture of the lateral or distal one third  Type I -minimally displaced Type II -displaced secondary to a fracture medial to the coracoclavicular ligament complex Type III -fracture of the articular surface Type IV -ligaments intact to the periosteum, with a displacement of the proximal fragment Type V -comminuted Group III-fracture of the medial one third Type I -minimally displaced Type II -displaced Type III -intraarticular Typ

Key Tests Performed at the Shoulder Depending on Suspected Pathology

                                  Taking a detailed patient history is important. Listen carefully to the patient’s past medical history and history of presenting condition. The narrative given by the patient contains much of the information needed to rule out red flags and guide the shoulder examination.                                   The patient may report pain local to the involved shoulder. The symptoms may extend toward the scapula, axilla, anterior chest, along with the clavicle, or down the humerus. When taking the patients history it is also important to ask if they have pain or symptoms in other regions such as their cervical or thoracic spine, or elbow. The patient may also report difficulty with overhead activities, lifting objects, activities of daily living, sports or recreational activities.& There are several presentations that may differ depending on the suspected pathology. { Click the Test to Read in Detail} A.For anterior shoulder (glenohumeral) in

Plantar fasciitis: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment- HeyPhysio

Definition/Description                                                             If the bottom of your foot hurts when you walk, or kind of heel pain, you may have Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis may be referred to as plantar fasciosis, plantar heel pain, plantar fascial fibramatosis, among others. Because many cases diagnosed as “plantar fasciitis” are not inflammatory conditions, this condition may be best referred to as "plantar fasciosis." This is confirmed through histological analysis which demonstrates plantar fascia fibrosis, collagen cell death, vascular hyperplasia, random and disorganized collagen, and avascular zones.                                There are many different sources of pain in the plantar heel beside the plantar fascia, and therefore the term "Plantar Heel Pain" serves best to include a broader perspective when discussing this and related pathology. Anatomy                                The plantar fascia is comprised
