Abstract:Aim: Mathematical relationships between bones in close proximity are useful for determining the proper length of comminuted or severely displaced bones during surgical reconstruction. This study examined the relationship between the lengths of the clavicle and ulna to develop a length propotion formula that can facilitate obtaining the proper length of the clavicle during surgery for displaced and comminuted fractures. Methods: The study enrolled 130 individuals (76 males, 54 females) who were healty for their… Show more
