Mensurao de simetria clavicular em indivduos saudveis utilizando-se de banco de dados tomogrficos de hospitais pblicos

Abstract: ObjectiveThis study aimed to perform an imaging evaluation to prove the existence or not of symmetry between the clavicles of healthy subjects from Curitiba, Paran, Brazil, and identify potential factors influencing the clavicular length. MethodThe study analyzed chest computed tomography (CT) scans of 211 patients with no clavicular fracture or malformations (100 women and 111 men). We measured the greatest clavicular diagonal on both sides, and the software automatically generated the maximum distance in millimeters. Relative and absolute frequencies described qualitative variables and mean values; quantitative variables used a 95% confidence interval. Value comparisons employed the student's t-test, and correlations determinations used Pearson's correlation coefficient. The significance level adopted was 5%. ResultsThere was a significant difference between the clavicular length (right clavicle, 143.58mm; left clavicle, 145.72mm; p=0.037), indicating asymmetry. On average, the left clavicle was 3.71mm larger. Asymmetry was significant for both men and women (p10mm of asymmetry. ConclusionThe studied population did not present clavicular symmetry. On average, the left clavicle was longer than the right clavicle, with differences of 3.71mm in the general sample, 3.23mm in women, and 4.13mm in men. The only significant factor was gender since men presented longer clavicles and higher differences than women.
