Case description

Clavicle fractures most commonly occur at the mid-shaft, accounting for about 80–85% of cases. Fractures of the medial clavicle are rare (approximately 5%), usually stable, and typically treated non-operatively. Lateral clavicle fractures represent about 10–15% of clavicle fractures.
