Buckling of the middle third of left clavicle without cortical break.
Case Discussion
Direct trauma to the middle third of left clavicle has resulted in buckling of the bone without any cortical break. This is due to the inherent malleability in pediatric bones. When the inner cortex breaks, it is called a greenstick fracture.
