Summary
Clavicle fractures are common which accounts for 2.6% of all fractures in adults and 10% to 15% in children [1]. We could not find case of segmental clavicle fracture with acromioclavicular joint (AC-joint) disruption in English-literature It was treated with lateral clavicular plate fixing both fractures and K-wire for AC-joint disruption. Radiograph (Figure 1) showed unusual presentation of segmental clavicle fracture which includes middle 1/3rd and lateral end clavicle fracture with AC-joint disruption. As it is obvious AC-joint dislocation on radiograph we didn’t took opposite shoulder radiograph or same shoulder MRI. At 12 months after his initial surgery, the patient had an excellent outcome with an Oxford Shoulder Score of 48/48 and with a full clinical range of movement without instability of the AC-joint He has no restrictions in his work or hobbies, even returning to motorcycle riding
