Understanding Clavicle Fractures: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options

Middle 1/3 of clavicle and tend to have an upward displacement

The most common location of a clavicle fracture is the midshaft, which is the center part of the collarbone. This type of fracture accounts for about 80% of all clavicle fractures. The clavicle is a long, thin bone that connects the breastbone to the shoulder blade, and it is vulnerable to fracture because it is exposed and doesn’t have a lot of protection from surrounding soft tissue. Clavicle fractures can occur due to falls, sports injuries, and car accidents, among other causes. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the arm on the affected side. Treatment may involve immobilization with a sling or brace, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.
