“…Qi, et al study demonstrated how the right clavicle fixation was done with a reconstruction locking plate and a hook plate, and the left clavicle was fixed with an S-shaped locking plate. They achieved bone union at three months following surgery and concluded that double-plate fixation successfully achieved excellent long-term outcomes [ 6 ]. According to various authors, surgical choice differs; in our study, we emphasize considering patient factors before employing surgical management.…”

“…Although fractures of the clavicle are among the most frequent fractures in adults, simultaneous traumatic bilateral clavicle fractures in adults are reported more rarely [5][6][7][8]. Based on the few published reports, bilateral clavicle fractures represent less than 0.5% of all clavicle fractures [6,9].…”

Background Although clavicle fractures are common injuries in adults, simultaneous bilateral clavicle fractures are rarely reported. The present report describes 13 patients with simultaneous bilateral traumatic clavicle fractures who were treated with surgical management and followed for more than 12 months postoperatively. Methods This retrospective chart review involved skeletally mature patients with traumatic clavicle injuries. Patients with bilateral clavicle fractures who were followed up for at least 12 months after surgery were included. Data regarding the patients’ demographics, injury characteristics, fracture classification, comorbidities, concomitant injuries, and treatment strategies were collected. Each displaced fracture was managed with open reduction and internal fixation. Postoperative follow-up included radiographs for assessment of bone union; calculation of the Constant–Murley score for shoulder function; administration of the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire for upper limb function; determination of the visual analogue scale score for pain; and assessment of complications. Results From October 2013 to November 2021, 15 patients (10 men, 5 women) were diagnosed with bilateral clavicle fractures among 1542 patients with clavicle injuries (overall incidence of 1.0%). Of these 15 patients, this study included 13 patients (8 men, 5 women; mean age, 38.3 ± 15.3 years) who were followed up for more than 12 months postoperatively. Among the 13 patients, 10 (77.0%) had associated concomitant injuries, and 25 sides were fixed with internal plate fixation. After a follow-up period of 29.9 ± 28.5 months, all fractures achieved bone healing. Eleven patients attained excellent shoulder function on both sides and returned to their pre-injury daily activities, and the remaining two patients had unilateral shoulder dysfunction. No complications occurred. Conclusions Bilateral clavicle fractures are extremely rare and associated with polytrauma. Open reduction and internal fixation is recommended for such patients, especially those with severe chest injuries, because osteosynthesis of the clavicle can improve respiratory function and reduce the duration of functional disability.

Rationale: Bilateral distal clavicle fractures (BDCF) are exceedingly rare types of fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical treatment under a single anesthesia for trauma-induced BDCF (Neer type II) through a case report. Patient concerns: The patient brought to the emergency department due to a motor vehicle accident exhibited severe pain, tenderness, swelling, and deformity in both shoulder regions upon physical examination. No significant pain or tenderness was detected in other areas of the body. There were also no signs of additional neurological deficits or vascular pathology in the extremities. Diagnoses: Radiographic examinations led to a diagnosis of BDCF (Neer type II). Interventions: Surgical intervention involved the simultaneous application of a neutral-angled hook plate to both clavicles via open reduction. Outcomes: Postoperative radiographs taken at the 12th week demonstrated complete healing in both fractures and no functional limitations in shoulder movements. Lessons: BDCF can compromise the stability of the shoulder girdle, necessitating surgical intervention with anatomical reduction and rigid fixation.
