Ipsilateral Rockwood type IV acromioclavicular joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture: a case report and review of the literature
The combination of ipsilateral acromioclavicular joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture is rare. In the last 30 years, only 29 cases have been reported in literature.

| Sumario: | The combination of ipsilateral acromioclavicular joint dislocation and midshaft clavicle fracture is rare. In the last 30 years, only 29 cases have been reported in literature. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with this combined injury pattern on the right side after a fall from a bicycle. She underwent open reduction and plate fixation of the clavicle fracture and repair of both the acromioclavicular ligaments and the coracoclavicular joint with semi-rigid surgical implants. Six months of follow-up showed satisfactory results with full range of motion. In addition, we provide an overview of the literature regarding this rare injury pattern with treatment options and functional outcomes. |
