Clavicular Fracture: Pathogenesis and clinical findings

Group I (69%) - Middle third (mid-shaft)
Group II (29%) - Distal third
Group Ill (2.8%) - Proximal third
Notes:
 • There is no correlation between the mechanism of injury and the site of fracture (i.e., which "third" is involved).
 • It is important to perform a neurovascular and respiratory examination looking for other injuries in all patients with clavicle fractures, particularly if higher forces were involved (eg, motor vehicle collision).
