Abstract

Sports-related clavicle injuries are common. About half of clavicle fractures are due to sport activities. Injuries to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint are more common than injuries to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint. The typical mechanism of injury in sports is a fall or contact with another person or object. Most of these injuries can be managed non-operatively with a sling for comfort and early range of motion exercises. Operative management may help early return to sport. Other than cosmetic concerns (e.g., deformity), complications are uncommon.
