KW - Ipsilateral proximal, distal clavicle
AB - Ipsilateral fractures of the proximal and distal clavicle are quite rare. Double clavicle fractures are extremely
rare. We report a case of ipsilateral fractures of the proximal and distal clavicle combined with a coracoid
base fracture, a combination which has not been reported before. These injuries disrupt the superior shoulder
suspensory complex (SSSC) by breaking the coracoid base and distal clavicle. This would normally be a
surgical case, but all fractures were non-displaced. We discussed the treatment options with the patient, and
he chose conservative treatment with sling immobilization. He achieved full range of shoulder motion in 3
months.
