Abstract
A case of ipsilateral distal clavicle fracture and sternoclavicular joint dislocation is reported. This combination of injuries results from two separate forces in sequence. Closed reduction of the dislocation was possible only after open reduction and internal fixation of the clavicle fracture was performed, because of the inability to manipulate the free-floating segment. Patients should be carefully examined for associated brachial plexus injuries.Entities:
