case_images: Radiographic and CT imaging demonstrated a highly comminuted medial-end nonunion of the right clavicle (Figures 1 and 2).
case_images: Postoperative chest radiograph following the open reduction and osteosynthesis procedure. The fracture was fixed using an inverted anatomic locking plate.

case_images: A CT scan of the shoulder and the affected SC joint confirmed hardware migration, displacement of the comminuted bone segments, and posterior displacement of the medial fragment of the clavicle with the SC joint still intact (Figures 4 and 5). Three loose medial screws were removed, but two medial screws (Figure 4) remained unreachable.
