Clavicle Fracture

Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating Clavicle Fractures

What is a Clavicle Fracture?

A clavicle fracture, commonly referred to as a broken collarbone, is one of the most frequent bone fractures, particularly in active individuals and athletes. The clavicle is the bone that connects the arm to the body and serves as an important structural support for the shoulder. A fracture can occur due to trauma, falls, or sports-related injuries, resulting in pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the arm.

Dr. Abhinav Mishra, a shoulder and joint specialist, offers advanced diagnostic and treatment options to ensure proper healing and restore full function after a clavicle fracture.

Symptoms of Clavicle Fracture

  • Pain
  • Swelling and Bruising
  • Deformity
  • Limited Mobility

Causes of Clavicle Fractures

Direct Fall or Impact
  • A direct fall onto the shoulder, outstretched arm, or direct blow to the collarbone is the most common cause.
  • Athletes involved in contact sports (e.g., football, hockey) or cyclists are particularly at risk.
Vehicle Accidents
  • High-energy impacts, such as those from car accidents or falls from significant height, can cause the clavicle to break.
Sports Injuries
  • Contact sports, such as rugby or soccer, where players collide, can put pressure on the clavicle, causing fractures.
  • High-impact activities like skiing or snowboarding can also lead to broken collarbones.
Osteoporosis or Bone Weakening
  • In older adults or individuals with bone thinning conditions, the clavicle may fracture with minimal trauma or impact.
