Abstract
- Distal clavicle fracture in children may mimic acromioclavicular joint separation, but have very different prognosis and treatment. We are reporting two cases of distal clavicle fracture in adolescence mimicking type IV acromioclavicular injury. This report demonstrates the importance of shoulder axillary view, computerized tomography as well as physical examination on diagnosis of the distal clavicle fracture in adolescence.
