Intercostal Entrapment of Clavicle Fracture Causing a Pulseless, Flaccid Upper Extremity.

Chase Kluemper1, Tyler Koestner2, Justin Cowart3, Matt Higgins3.   

Abstract

Limb-threatening vascular compromise from an isolated closed clavicle fracture is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a posteriorly angulated, closed clavicle fracture segment causing right upper-extremity ischemia, numbness, and paresis caused by entrapment of the clavicle between the first and second ribs.
