Abstract:Dislocation of both ends of the clavicle is a rare injury. We experienceda case of bipolar clavicular dislocation in a 42-year-old man with a floating clavicle who required surgical treatment. Ten months postoperatively, the patient reported a good recovery, with no complaints of pain or subjective difference in range of motion and strength between the normal and injured shoulder. His only complaint concerned a mild deformity-a small anterior bulge of the clavicle at the sternoclavicular joint.
