Medial clavicular epiphyseal fracture with ipsilateral acromioclavicular dislocation: a case report of panclavicular fracture dislocation

J Orthop Trauma. 2007 Jul;21(6):418-21. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0b013e3180dca5ad.

Abstract

The authors report a case of a complete posterior dislocation of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint with an ipsilateral medial epiphyseal clavicular fracture in a 20-year-old male. Open reduction was indicated because a maintained closed reduction of the AC joint was unsuccessful, and the described treatment maintained a successful reduction.
