Clavicle Fractures
Clavicle fractures are common shoulder injuries, especially in young active individuals, typically caused by a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched hand.
Clavicle fractures account for up to 5% of all adult fractures and are most frequently located in the middle third of the bone. Treatment depends on fracture location, displacement, and patient activity level. While most midshaft fractures can be managed conservatively, displaced or comminuted fractures may require surgical fixation, often with plate and screw constructs. Complications include nonunion, malunion, and neurovascular injury.
