question 39

Short Answer

Jane was playing volleyball in her high school gymnasium, and during a dive for the ball she fell, landing hard on her right shoulder area. She presented to the orthopedic office in severe pain in the area of her collarbone. Radiologic exams were taken of the area, and it was found that the sternoclavicular joint had been dislocated. The physician applied pressure and moved the bone back into its proper location. Strapping was then applied. Report only the repair, not the x-ray.
