EP104 - Fractured Clavicle_ Diagnosis and Management

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode outlines a simulated medical scenario for a Hospital Medical Officer, focusing on the diagnosis and management of a suspected fractured clavicle in a young adult. It details the patient's initial presentation, the tasks required of the medical professional, and provides examiner instructions and expectations for candidate performance, including specific questions to be addressed. The case emphasises the importance of recognising the fracture on an X-ray and applying appropriate shoulder support, typically with a sling or other forms of bracing, while also discussing potential complications and the typical healing process for such injuries.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #FracturedClavicle #CollarboneBreak #ShoulderInjury #FirstAid #MedicalCare #InjuryRecovery #SportsInjury #EmergencyRoom #HealthTips #BoneHealth
