Our Patient Bruno was hit by a car while cycling in Miami and suffered a clavicle fracture. Today he is 6v months post his procedure and is ready to compete for the iron man in Kona.
Clavicle fractures, or collarbone fractures, are common orthopedic injuries that can occur due to various factors, such as falls, sports-related accidents, or motor vehicle collisions. The clavicle is a vital bone that connects the shoulder blade (scapula) to the breastbone (sternum) and plays a crucial role in the stability and mobility of the shoulder. When a clavicle fracture occurs, it can lead to pain, limited arm movement, and discomfort.
Clavicle fractures can be categorized into three main types:
Midshaft Fractures: These are the most common type, occurring in the middle part of the clavicle.
Distal Fractures: Located near the shoulder, these fractures affect the outer end of the clavicle.
Proximal Fractures: These fractures occur near the sternum, affecting the inner end of the clavicle.
