Abstract:
Clavicle fractures have been known to be common injuries with a reported incidence of 2.4-4% amongst all fractures, however the incidence of bilateral clavicle fractures is rare. A thorough search of all English language journals revealed that bilateral clavicle fractures comprised 0.43% of all clavicle fractures, with an overall incidence of between 0.011-0.017%. Though the surgical intervention of clavicle fractures uses many implants, never has been screw intramedullary flexible nail been used in a bilateral clavicle fracture. We report a case of a 32-year-old male who presented with bilateral clavicle fracture and was treated successfully.
