Unusual segmental fracture of the clavicle associated with rib fractures and pneumothorax

Abstract

Segmental fracture of the clavicle is an extremely rare injury with only 4 cases being previously published in the English literature. We report an unusual case of a segmental clavicle fracture associated with ipsilateral rib fractures and pneumothorax. The available literature is also reviewed and the management of these injuries is discussed.
