case_images: (a) Radiograph of the left shoulder showing fracture of the lateral metaphyseal clavicle. (b) CT scan of the left shoulder showing the posterior displacement of the proximal end of the fracture; arrows are pointing to the fracture ends. (c) 3D reformat of the CT of the left shoulder (view from above); notice the clavicle is posteriorly displaced in relation to the acromion and scapular spine.

case_images: Radiography and CT revealed an oblique fracture of the distal third of the left clavicle with posterior displacement of the distal end of the proximal (medial) fragment (Figure 1).

case_images: Because of the marked deformity of the posteriorly displaced fracture (Figure 2), an operative repair was advised, and the family agreed to proceed to surgery.
case_images: Radiographs of the left shoulder showing reduction of the clavicle fracture and fixation by three wires.

case_images: Once good reduction was achieved, three K-wires were inserted percutaneously from the lateral end of the acromion to the clavicle traversing both ends of the fracture (Figure 3).
