Abstract:
Shoulder girdle injuries after high energy traumatic impacts to the shoulder have been well documented. Based on the series of 1603 injuries of the shoulder girdle reported by Cave and colleagues, 85% of the dislocations were glenohumeral, 12% acromioclavicular and 3%
sternoclavicular 1. Less frequently described are injuries
involving both the sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular
joints simultaneously in one extremity. The present report
discusses a case of traumatic floating clavicle associated
with ipsilateral forearm and wrist injury which was treated
surgically.
