Case Discussion
Clavicle fractures are common, accounting for 5% of all fractures, especially with high-impact trauma. 50% occur in children under the age of 10 years old.
Nonunion is rare (1-4% of cases); more likely to occur with unstable distal clavicle or poorly immobilized fracture Posttraumatic osteoarthritis is common in type III distal clavicle fractures
