Trapezius Interposition of a Distal Third Clavicular Fracture in a Child: A Case Report
Abstract
We report an 11-year-old child with fracture of the distal clavicle who was denied conservative treatment because the medial end of the clavicle was anchored into the trapezius muscle fiber by an extreme posterior displacement. Surgical reduction was indicated.
