The patients showed increased scapular protraction at lower elevation angles and reduced scapular retraction at higher elevation angles during frontal-plane elevations, with significantly reduced clavicle retraction (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt; 0.05), with unaltered scapular rotation and tilt. The ranges of the observed changes were reduced to arm elevations at 60\u00b0 and 90\u00b0 in the scapular and sagittal planes. Similar changes were also found on the unaffected side, suggesting symmetrical bilateral compensation. The results suggest that shoulder kinematics in multi-plane arm elevations should be monitored for any signs of compromised bone motions following surgical treatment, and that rehabilitative training may be needed on both sides to improve the bilateral movement control of the shoulder complex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2021.710787","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]],"date-time":"2021-07-22T15:37:00Z","timestamp":1626968220000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effects of Internal Fixation for Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures on Shoulder Kinematics During Humeral Elevations"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Li-Wei","family":"Hung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hsuan-Yu","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chung-Hsun","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsan-Yang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ting-Ming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tung-Wu","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"774","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-196749040-00024","article-title":"Fractures and ligamentous injuries of the clavicle and its articulation.","volume":"49","author":"Allman","year":"1967","journal-title":"J.
