Distal fracture clavicle and acromioclavicular dislocation: a case report and review the literature

摘要

Acromioclavicular dislocations and clavicle fractures are extremely common injuries. However, complete acromioclavicular dislocation combined with an adjacent clavicle fracture is very rare. Its recognition depends on a thorough assessment of the patient, including high-quality radiographs of the clavicle and acromioclavicular joint. This report describes an unusual injury: an acromioclavicular dislocation type III with a distal clavicle fracture type I in the same arm. The patient was treated conservatively with an immobilization for 6 weeks. After 9 months of follow-up, the patient had a pain-free shoulder with full range of motion.
