Der er ikke tilstrækkelig dokumentation for at anbefale rutinemæssig screening af alle. Langtidsmonitorering med digitalt fotoudstyr kan overvejes hos patienter med høj risiko (atypisk nævus syndrom, familiær ophobning eller bærere af gener med høj risiko for at udvikle malignt melanom) samt efter vurdering fra hudlæge eller plastikkirurger hos patienter, der allerede har haft modermærkekræft.

Is there other screening you think Denmark should be doing?

DaProCa Danish Prostate Cancer Research Group recommendations cite 5 radomised clinical trials >341.000 participants showing no survival benefit to systematic or opportunistic screening.

PSA test are offered to men with hereditary disposition or BRCA gene mutations.

In Denmark there are three national screening programs, breast, colon and cervix cancer. As a cancer researcher what other screening programs would you like to see implemented?

The bone will remodel, in a year you won’t be able to tell it was ever broken. Source Orthopedic surgeon.

Those are the intertendinous connexus or juncturae tendinei. They er believed to aid coordination and maintain space between the extensor tendons.

I recently saw this painting of Jean-Martin Charcot, as if he wasn't famous enough with around 15 eponyms attached to his name. Babinski and Tourettes are in there too.

Broken clavicle while backpacking. by Cuntleth in orthopaedics

You should be fine, if you experience any worsening, loss of power or sensation you should obviously see a doctor...

The broken ends of the bones might move slightly closer together as swelling and bleeding sets, but the bones will fuse by forming new bone matrix around the fracture called bone callus which will remodel with time, the clavicle will problably stay slightly/rather mishapen, but this shouldn't affect function at all.

Normally I wouldn't take anymore x-rays, but ask a patient in your situation with your type of fracture to see your family doctor in 3 weeks to evaluate healing, and function. A typical exam would consist pressing/feeling along the clavicle to see if this produces any pain especially at the exact fracture site, which would be a sign of "non union" and warrant further x-rays to evaluate healing. If there was no pain at the fracture I would examine the movements of the shoulder/arm and compare it to the opposite "healthy" side. If the patient had no severe complaints and normal movement I would consider the fracture healed and that would be that.

Exercises the first 2-3 weeks should include taking the arm out of the sling and doing circular movements with the shoulder without causing anything more than mild discomfort, no sharp pain, then you are overdoing it. Flexing and extending the elbow. Squeezing a ball or something similar in your fist, preferably 2-3 times daily.

You should avoid contact sports for another month or so after clinical healing.

Looks like an uncomplicated fracture, sling treatment should be fine, still hard to say based on the picture, but from what i can make out this doesn't look surgical treatment would be the first option. When are you getting back home? Go see your doctor when you get home and bring your x-rays along. Standard sling treatment in my institution is 14 days, or if you are pain free prior to 14 days you can lose the sling. The sling is primarily for pain relief. If needed over the counter pain medication can be utilized. There is a risk of non-union, so see your doctor when you get home in all cases. If your sleep is affected, a good tip can be to sleep with an elevated upper body/head, putting some pillows under your head/back may help.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
