Abstract

Introduction: Ipsilateral fracture of the clavicle and dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is seen very rare. Case Report: We report a 55-year-old male patient who had an automobile accident striking his right shoulder. Radiographic examination revealed a fracture of the medial third of the clavicle associated with Type-III acromioclavicular dislocation. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of his clavicle fracture and stabilization of his acromioclavicular separation.
Conclusion: Twelve months postoperatively, the patient was asymptomatic and had a full range of motion of the shoulder.
