“…When looking at professional cyclists, collision between cyclists is a common cause of clavicle fracture (39%) followed by collision with obstacles as well as loss of bicycle control with resultant falling [8]. Among 140 amateur and professional cyclists, Nishimi et al [9] correlated the prevalence of clavicular fractures with more intense weekly hour training.…”

Purpose of Review The purposes of this review are to discuss the management of shoulder and elbow fractures in athletes to optimize the return to sport and to highlight treatment impact on the return to play. Recent findings Fractures of the shoulder and elbow can have profound implications in an athlete career. Recent technique of fractures management trended toward to preserve soft tissue which is critical for an early recovery in athletic population. Arthroscopy presents a strong interest for the treatment of intra-articular fracture, and minimally invasive approach as developed in humeral shaft fracture can be considered to avoid soft tissue damage. Summary Non-articular, stable, and minimally displaced fractures are mainly treated conservatively. However, we encourage a more aggressive approach in shoulder and elbow injuries in the athletes including minimally invasive and stable fixation to preserve vascularity and muscle environment.

“…Clavicle fractures, 80% of which occur at the midshaft, are the most common injury in cyclists, and studies have reported a prevalence of 13%-16% in this population vs 2.6%-4% in the general population[ 1 - 3 ]. With numerous studies indicating an unsatisfactory outcome and a high nonunion rate following conservative treatment, an increasing trend has been seen toward operative fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures[ 4 ].…”

BACKGROUND One of the most common complications following surgery for midshaft clavicle fracture is nonunion/delayed union. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an alternative to promote new bone formation without surgical complications. To date, no literature has reported low-intensity ESWT (LI-ESWT) in delayed union of midshaft clavicle fracture. CASE SUMMARY We reported a 66-year-old Chinese amateur cyclist with clavicle delayed union treated with 10 sessions of LI-ESWT (radial, 0.057 mJ/mm 2 , 3 Hz, 3000 shocks). No anesthetics were applied, and no side effects occurred. At the 4 mo and 7 mo follow-ups, the patient achieved clinical and radiographical recovery, respectively. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our findings indicated that LI-ESWT could be a good option for treating midshaft clavicular delayed union.
