Abstract

The present case report is an observational study with a literature review. This case is significant because the injury is rare regarding location and clinical manifestation. A middle-aged male patient sustained a fracture at the acromial end of the clavicle with lateral fragment dislocation after falling from a bicycle. The literature reports a single similar case, but we had no access to the complete text. The patient underwent treatment with satisfactory outcomes.

Keywords: acromioclavicular joint; fracture fixation; joint dislocations.
