- Clavicular fracture is common injury in the upper extremity, but ipsilateral proximal, distal or middle-third clavicular fractures which occur simultaneously are an extremely rare. Seven cases have been reported in the English and Japanese literatures, but it has never been reported in Korea. We report a case of ipsilateral proximal and distal clavicular fracture caused by fall from height and describe its presumed mechanism, diagnosis, treatment with a review of literatures.
