Collarbone6
- A clavicle fracture , or broken collarbone, is one of the most common broken bones among kids and teens. (childrensmn.org)
- The collarbone (clavicle) runs between the top of the breastbone (sternum) and the front of the shoulder blade (scapula) and helps connect the arm to the rest of the body. (childrensmn.org)
- A break (fracture) of the collarbone (clavicle) is an injury that occurs mainly in children and especially male adolescents. (primomedico.com)

Coracoclavicular3
- Without all of the Operative Report to review, it appears that the patient had a distal third of the Clavicle fracture, and an injury to the AC Joint (how severe is uncertain, but enough to warrant open treatment by his Coracoclavicular (CC) Ligament Repair). (aapc.com)
- Treatment is immobilization or surgery, depending on the displacement and stability of the distal clavicle, as determined by whether coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments (trapezoid and conoid) are intact. (orthobullets.com)
