Abstract

Fracture of the clavicle and dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint occur commonly as separate injuries. However, complete acromioclavicular dislocation with an ipsilateral clavicle fracture is quite rare. We experienced a case of acromioclavicular joint dislocation associated with fracture of clavicle and brachial plexus injury treated by open reduction and internal fixation.

Key Words: Dislocation; Acromioclavicular joint fracture; Clavicle injury; Brachial plexus
