Sumario:Clavicle fractures are among the most common fractures in adults. Nevertheless, bilateral fractures are rarely reported in the literature. We present the case of a 35-year-old male patient who was admitted with a bilateral clavicle fracture following a motorcycle accident. The patient underwent open reduction and bilateral intramedullary fixation with Kirschner wires. After six months of follow-up, the functional result was satisfactory; the patient achieved full range of motion in both shoulders and was free from pain. X-rays showed a complete fusion of the fracture on both sides.
