What is a Clavicle Fracture?

The clavicle is a long, slender bone located between the shoulder blade and the sternum. It plays a crucial role in shoulder movement and stability. A fracture in this bone can occur due to various reasons, such as falls, sports injuries, or trauma.

Types of Clavicle Fractures

Clavicle fractures are classified into three types based on the location of the fracture:

Medial (or Proximal) Clavicle Fracture:

  • This type of fracture occurs near the sternum (breastbone) where the clavicle connects to the ribcage. It is often caused by a direct impact or a fall onto an outstretched arm. Medial clavicle fractures are typically stable and less common compared to fractures in other parts of the clavicle.

Midshaft Clavicle Fracture:

  • This is the most common type of clavicle fracture, happening in the middle portion of the bone(between the sternum and AC joint). Midshaft fractures often result from a direct blow or fall onto the shoulder. They can vary in severity and displacement.

Lateral (or Distal) Clavicle Fracture:

  • This fracture occurs closer to the shoulder joint, near the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It can be caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand or a direct impact to the outer end of the shoulder. Lateral clavicle fractures can be challenging to treat due to the complexity of the shoulder anatomy and the involvement of the AC joint.

Causes Of Clavicle Fractures

Direct impact:

  • A direct blow or trauma to the clavicle, such as from a fall onto the shoulder or a forceful collision during sports, can cause a fracture.

Falling onto an outstretched hand

  • When an individual falls onto an outstretched hand, the impact can transmit force up the arm, leading to a fracture of the clavicle, especially if the force is significant.

Motor vehicle accidents:

  • High-velocity accidents, such as car crashes or motorcycle accidents, can exert tremendous force on the body, potentially resulting in a clavicle fracture due to the impact

Sports injuries:

  • Participation in contact sports or activities that involve repetitive stress on the shoulder, such as football, rugby, or martial arts, can increase the risk of a clavicle fracture, particularly if there is a collision or fall.

Osteoporosis:

  • Weakening of the bones due to conditions like osteoporosis can make them more susceptible to fractures, including the clavicle, even with relatively minor trauma or stress.

Treatment Options For Clavicle Fractures

The approach to treating a clavicle fracture depends on various factors, including the severity of the injury, the individual’s age, and their level of activity.

Non-Surgical Treatment

In cases where the fracture is not displaced or the bones remain aligned, non-surgical treatment may be recommended. This typically involves immobilizing the arm and shoulder with a sling or brace to allow the bones to heal naturally over time. Pain management and physical therapy may also be prescribed to aid in recovery.

Surgical Treatment

If the fracture is severe or the bones are significantly displaced, surgery may be necessary to realign the bones and ensure proper healing. Surgical intervention often involves the use of plates, screws, or pins to stabilize the fracture and promote optimal alignment. This approach may reduce the risk of complications and expedite the healing process.
