“…Miller et al (7) presented a report of fracture of the medial and lateral extremity of the clavicle with the use of a reconstruction plate and another with locking T-plate, and Karimi et al (8) had a case similar to ours that was also treated by the same method; both authors emphasized that due to the rarity of the case, there is no routine surgical technique described for the treatment of this type of fracture.…”

This article is available online in Portuguese and ABSTRACTThe aim here was to present an unusual case of segmental clavicle fracture associated with ipsilateral rib fracture. Although the clavicle is very superficial, undetected cases of both types of fracture may occur, because these patients usually suffer multiple trauma. The case of a patient with a fracture of the diaphysis and lateral extremity of the clavicle is described: the patient was treated surgically and an excellent result was achieved. Similar cases in the literature are reviewed and their management is discussed.

“…Even no consensus exists regarding management of clavicular fractures as with some literature supports a non-operative while others case studies advocates operative approach. [24][25][26] Therefore, exact methods for managing clavicle facture depends on several factors viz. age, clinical status of patient, exact fracture site and other associated injuries.…”

Background: Clavicle is one of the common bones to undergo fractures with incidence rate higher in second to third decade of one’s life as well as in elderly age. Management of these clavicle fractures have always been a subject of debate, where literature have been advocating both non-operative as well as operative methods.Methods: The present study was conceived to know the burden of these isolated clavicle fracture cases reporting to tertiary level healthcare institute of North India and to study about their management pattern.Results: During the five years study duration (2014-2018), a total of 38 patients had reported to the trauma centre of the institute. Out of total, males had more preponderance 77% (29) and incidences were reported more in younger population. All patients were managed well by opting conservative measures, besides deformity had been reported in 2 (5.26%) patients. 3 (7.9%) patients had reported with complaints of pain, weakness while doing work, fatigue and pain when lying on the affected shoulder None of the patient was managed by open reduction and fixation.Conclusions: The present study concludes that the number of patients having isolated clavicle fracture are not contributing to any sort of burden at tertiary level institutes and are not even time consuming.

“…Non-union of the clavicle fracture would result in considerable functional deficit. With meagre literature regarding segmental clavicle injuries, no consensus exists about the management of these fractures with some case reports advocating a non-operative [9, 10] while others an operative approach [7, 8]. …”

Clavicular fractures commonly occur in adults and children. The usual mechanism of injury is a fall on the outstretched hand or direct trauma. The usual site of these fractures is the mid clavicle with lateral end and medial end clavicular fractures being less common, respectively. Segmental clavicular fractures have been reported in the literature; they usually occur at the medial and lateral ends and tend to occur in adults. Bipolar clavicular injuries involving medial and lateral ends have also been reported rarely but all in adults. We report a very rare case of segmental clavicular fracture involving the mid clavicle and lateral end in an adolescent caused by direct trauma. The management of segmental clavicle fractures has not been clearly outlined although operative intervention is indicated. We report the successful management of segmental fracture clavicle in an adolescent and discuss the relevant literature.
