What is a Lateral End Clavicle Fracture?
A Lateral End Clavicle Fracture occurs at the outer portion of the collarbone near the shoulder joint. It is usually caused by a fall or direct impact on the shoulder.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain that increases with shoulder movement
- Swelling or bruising over the collarbone
- Difficulty lifting the arm
- A visible bump or deformity near the shoulder
When the fracture fragments are displaced, surgery is recommended to ensure proper alignment and full recovery of shoulder function.
What Treatment did we provide to Sanjay Makhija at Medicover?
After expert orthopedic assessment, Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) was performed by Dr Chaudhari. This precise surgical approach included:
- Repositioning the fractured bone fragments
- Fixing them using medical implants such as plates and screws
- Ensuring stable healing and proper alignment of the shoulder joint
Following surgery, Mr Makhija received supportive post-operative care and guided rehabilitation to regain mobility and shoulder strength. His successful recovery reflects both the advanced orthopedic expertise and the exceptional patient experience delivered at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik.
