From: Treatment of bipolar clavicle injury with internal plating: a case series and literature review
A 58-year-old woman (Patient 3) was injured in a car accident. After repair of the life-threatening injury, she presented to our institute for surgical intervention because of intolerable pain in her shoulder. A An anterior view radiograph showed anterior dislocation of the left sternoclavicular joint. B A preoperative radiograph showed left anterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) and an ipsilateral Neer type II distal clavicle fracture. At the 37-month follow-up, C a plain radiograph showed normal alignment of the SCJ, solid union of the distal clavicle, and slight persistent acromioclavicular joint subluxation. D Although she had mild shoulder function limitation, she was able to return to her preinjury job
