INTRODUCTION: The standard treatment for clavicle fractures non operative but surgical management is essential in certain specific indications. The purpose of this study is to report a not very commonly seen bilateral fracture of a clavicle in a young female patient treated with intramedullary fixation.
CASE REPORT: A 23 year old female patient sustained a bilateral clavicle fracture as a result of direct blow to shoulder and was treated with intramedullary K wires on both sides in single sitting. Postoperatively arm was maintained in a sling for 3 weeks. The implant was removed after a month when radiographs showed good bridging callus. After 8 weeks of fixation, she achieved full range of motion in both shoulders without any pain and was thus subsequently allowed to return to her daily activities.
CONCLUSION: For bilateral fractures clavicle, intramedullary fixation with K wire is a safe and effective modality for good pain relief and rapid recovery of range of motion. We did not encounter any complications.
