CASE OVERVIEW
Clavicle Fracture (Broken Collarbone)

A clavicle fracture is a break in the collarbone, one of the main bones in the shoulder.
This type of fracture is fairly common, accounting for about 5% of all adult fractures.

Most clavicle fractures occur when a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm puts
enough pressure on the bone that it snaps or breaks. A broken collarbone can be very painful and
can make it hard to move your arm.

Many clavicle fractures can be treated by wearing a sling to keep the arm and shoulder
from moving while the bone heals. With some clavicle fractures, however, the pieces of bone
move far out of place when the injury occurs. For these more complicated fractures, surgery may
be needed to realign the collarbone.

Types of Fracture

There are many fractures, but the main categories are complete, incomplete, open, closed, and
pathological. Five major types are as follows:

1. Incomplete: Fracture involves only a portion of the cross-section of the bone. One side
breaks; the other usually just bends (greenstick).
2. Complete: Fracture line involves entire cross-section of the bone, and bone fragments
are usually displaced.
3. Closed: The fracture does not extend through the skin.
4. Open: Bone fragments extend through the muscle and skin, which is potentially infected.
5. Pathological: Fracture occurs in diseased bone (such as cancer, osteoporosis), with no or
only minimal trauma.

Cause
Clavicle fractures are most often caused by a direct blow to the shoulder. This can happen
during a fall onto the shoulder or an accident, like a car collision. A fall onto an outstretched arm
can also cause a clavicle fracture. In a baby, a clavicle fracture can occur during the passage
through the birth canal.

Symptoms

A clavicle fracture can be very painful and may make it hard to move your arm. Other
signs and symptoms of a fracture may include:
 Sagging of the shoulder downward and forward
 Inability to lift the arm because of pain
 A grinding sensation when you try to raise the arm
 A deformity or bump over the break
 Bruising, swelling, and/or tenderness over the collarbone

Physical Examination

In a clavicle fracture, there is usually an obvious deformity, or bump, at the fracture site.
Gentle pressure over the break will bring about pain. Although it is rare for a bone fragment to
break through the skin, it may push the skin into a tent formation.

Diagnostic Test

X-rays. X-rays provide images of dense structures, such as bone. Your doctor will order an X-
ray:
 To help pinpoint the location of the fracture
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus
Minante 1, Cauayan City, Isabela

College of Nursing

 To learn more about the severity of the break


 If other bones are broken, your doctor may order a computerized tomography (CT) scan
to see the fractures in better detail.

Medical Management:

Nonsurgical Treatment
If the broken ends of the bones have not significantly shifted out of place, you may not
need surgery. Many broken collarbones can heal without surgery.
Nonsurgical treatment may include:
 Arm support. A simple arm sling is usually used for comfort immediately after the break
and to keep your arm and shoulder in position while the injury heals.
 Medication. Pain medication, including acetaminophen, can help relieve pain as the
fracture heals.
 Physical therapy. Although there will be some pain, it is important to maintain arm
motion to prevent shoulder and elbow stiffness. Often, patients will begin doing
exercises for elbow motion immediately after the injury.
 After a clavicle fracture, it is common to lose some shoulder and arm strength. Once the
bone begins to heal, your pain will decrease and your doctor may start gentle shoulder
exercises. These exercises will help prevent stiffness and weakness. You will start more
strenuous exercises gradually once the fracture is completely healed.

Follow-up care
You will need to see your doctor regularly until your fracture heals. During these visits,
the doctor will take X-rays to make sure the bone is healing in a good position. After the bone
has healed, you will be able to gradually return to your normal activities.

Complications
In some cases, a clavicle fracture can move out of place before it heals. It is important to
follow up with your doctor as scheduled to make sure the bone stays in position.

If the fracture does not heal, it is called a nonunion.


 In some cases of nonunion, the patient has very little pain and good motion, so no
further treatment is required.
 In other cases, nonunion can result in significant pain and may require an operation for
repair. 

If the fracture fragments do move out of place and the bones heal in that position, it is
called a malunion. Surgical treatment for this is very rare, determined by how far out of place
the bones are and how much this affects your arm movement.

A large bump over the fracture site may develop as the fracture heals. This usually gets
smaller over time, but a small bump often remains permanently.

Surgical Treatment
If the broken ends of the bones have significantly shifted out of place, your doctor may
recommend surgery.
Surgery typically involves putting the broken pieces of bone back into position and
preventing them from moving out of place until they are healed. This can improve shoulder
strength when you have recovered.

Open reduction and internal fixation


This is the procedure most often used to treat clavicle fractures. During the procedure, the
bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment. The pieces of bone
are then held in place with special metal hardware.
Common methods of internal fixation include:
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus
Minante 1, Cauayan City, Isabela

College of Nursing

 Plates and screws. After being repositioned into their normal alignment, the bone
fragments are held in place with special screws and metal plates attached to the outer
surface of the bone.
 After surgery, you may notice a small patch of numb skin below the incision. This
numbness will become less noticeable with time. Because the clavicle lies directly under
the skin, you may be able to feel the plate through your skin.
 Plates and screws are not routinely removed after the bone has healed, unless they are
causing discomfort. Problems with the hardware are not common, but some patients find
that seatbelts and backpacks can irritate the collarbone area. If this happens, the
hardware can be removed after the fracture has healed.
 Pins or screws. Pins or screws can also be used to hold the fracture in good position
after the bone ends have been put back in place. The incisions for pin or screw
placement are usually smaller than those used for plates.
 Pins or screws often irritate the skin where they have been inserted and are usually
removed once the fracture has healed.

Pain management
 After surgery, you will feel some pain. This is a natural part of the healing process.
Many patients find that using ice and non-prescription pain medications are sufficient to
relieve pain.
 If your pain is severe, your doctor may suggest a prescription-strength medication, such
as an opioid, for a few days.
 Be aware that although opioids help relieve pain after surgery, they are a narcotic and
can be addictive. Opioid dependency and overdose have become critical public health
issues. For this reason, opioids are typically prescribed for a short period of time. It is
important to use opioids only as directed by your doctor and to stop taking them as soon
as your pain begins to improve.

Rehabilitation
 Specific exercises will help restore movement and strengthen your shoulder. Your
doctor may provide you with a home therapy plan or suggest that you work with a
physical therapist.
 Therapy programs typically start with gentle motion exercises. Your doctor will
gradually add strengthening exercises to your program as your fracture heals.

Complications
There are risks associated with any type of surgery. These include:
 Infection
 Bleeding
 Problems with wound healing
 Pain
 Blood clots
 Damage to blood vessels or nerves
 Reaction to anesthesia

Risks that are specific to surgery for clavicle fractures include:


 Difficulty with bone healing
 Lung injury
 Numbness below the clavicle
 Hardware irritation

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

The clavicle is the bone that connects the breastplate (sternum) to the shoulder. It is a very
solid bone that has a slight S-shape and can be easily seen in many people.

Clavicle is divided into:


 Medial two thirds - Medial two thirds of the clavicle is convex forward
 Lateral one third - Lateral one third is concave forward.

Inferior surface
 Conoid tubercle - Near the acromial end of the clavicle, give attachment to the Conoid
ligament.
 Trapezoid line - Near the acromial end of the clavicle, give attachment to the Trapezoid
ligament.
 Subclavian groove - In the medial third of the shaft of the clavicle, give attachment to
the subclavius muscle.

College of Nursing

 Impression costoclavicular ligament - Rough depressed oval area at sternal end that
give attachment to the costoclavicular ligament.

Superior Surface:
 Attachment for sternocleidomastoid muscle at medial two third of the clavicle
 Attachment for trapezius muscle at lateral one third of clavicle

Anaterior Surface:
 Attachment for Pectoralis major muscle at media two third of the clavicle
 Attachment of deltoid muscle at lateral one third of the clavicle

Functions
 The clavicle holds the arm away from the trunk.
 It also transmits forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton It provides attachment
for muscles It provides attachment for ligaments that bind it to the first rib at its sternal
end and suspend the scapula from its acromial end.

Fractures of the Clavicle

 It is the most commonly fractured hone in


the body.
 The fracture usually occurs as a result of a
full on the shoulder or outstretched hand.
The force is transmitted along the clavicle,
which breaks at its weakest point, the
junction of the middle and outer third
 After the fracture, the lateral fragment is
depressed by the weight of the arm, and it is
pulled medially and forward by the strong
adductor muscles of the shoulder joint,
especially the pectoralis major.
The medial end is tilted upward by the
sternocleidomastoid muscle.
