Abstract

Clavicle fractures are one of the most common entities found on individuals that have gone through direct trauma. Anatomically it is divided in three segments (medial, intermediate, lateral) and it has a close relationship with neurovascular structures. There are multiple classifications, the most used categorizes them following the segment where it’s located. The diagnosis combines physical and radiological exploration of the clavicle. The more relevant complications include union defects and compromise of contiguous neurovascular structures. The two possibilities of treatment are conservative or surgical approach, choosing between one or the other and their different techniques depends on numerous factors. It is needed to monitor their evolution and results after the treatment. The following article aims to synthesize the basic information required to approach clavicle fractures.
