Unusual Medial-End Clavicle Fracture Combined with Double Disruption of the Superior Shoulder Suspensory Complex (SSSC) : A Case Report in Triathlon Athlete.

INTRODUCTION

Most published floating clavicle report a dislocation or fracture of one or both ends of the clavicle.

CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a new framework of this injury in a young triathlon athlete; medial-end displaced fracture with co-existent double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC) with the anterior shoulder arch wholly disconnected from the nearby structure.

CONCLUSION

The management of these complex fractures remains an open debate. The infrequent publications and the rarity of this type of injuries don't support the surgeon about the choice of the best possible treatment. However, if they are involved Patients with high functional demands, the Authors suggest the surgical management of medial-end clavicle fractures followed by restoration of SSSC complex if damaged on more than two locations.
