Podcast #244: Clavicle Fracture Review

Author: Nick Hatch, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • The force required to break a clavicle is significant, so clavicle fracture may be associated with other injury (pneumothorax, vascular injury).
  • Most fractures occur in the middle 1/3 of the clavicle.
  • Traditionally, clavicle fractures have been managed without surgery. However, recent studies have shown that surgery may be beneficial in a larger population than previously thought.
