Description
Acromioclavicular dislocations and clavicle fractures are extremely common injuries. However, complete acromioclavicular dislocation combined with an adjacent clavicle fracture is very rare. Its recognition depends on a thorough assessment of the patient, including highquality radiographs of the clavicle and acromioclavicular joint. This report describes an unusual injury: an acromioclavicular dislocation type III with a distal clavicle fracture type I in the same arm. The patient was treated conservatively with an immobilization for 6 weeks. After 9 months of follow-up, the patient had a pain-free shoulder with full range of motion.
