Overview

Case report shows heterotopic ossification influences clavicular biomechanics, suggesting increased stability in fractures.

Key Points

  • To explore the impact of heterotopic ossification in coracoclavicular ligaments on clavicular fracture biomechanics.
  • Presented a case report of a 59-year-old man with clavicular and cervical fractures after a bicycle accident.
  • Documented the presence of heterotopic ossification around the coracoclavicular ligaments.
  • Implemented surgical stabilization for both fractures using open reduction and internal fixation.
  • Identified pronounced heterotopic ossification around the coracoclavicular ligaments.
  • Suggested that ossified ligaments may increase stability at clavicular attachments.
  • Proposed that increased local stiffness could alter load distribution and affect fracture predisposition.
