Clavicle fractures.

Clavicle fractures account for approximately 2-5% of all fractures in adults and 10-15% in children. There is a bimodal distribution, with two peaks occurring in patients <25 years of age as a result of direct trauma and in those >55 years of age secondary to a fall onto an outstretched arm. Approximately two-thirds of all clavicle fractures occur in men.
