Özet
Clavicle fractures are classically defined according to the location of the fracture. Approximately 80% of clavicle fractures are midshaft fractures. Acromioclavicular joint injuries are caused by similar trauma mechanisms such as clavicle fractures. The clavicle shaft fracture associated with the ipsilateral acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a rare type of injury. Acromioclavicular Rockwood type 3 joint injury with midshaft clavicle fracture is only a few cases are available in the literature. In our case revealed that the left clavicle had a middle third clavicle fracture and an ipsilateral type 3 AC joint appearance according to the Rockwood classification. Management of Rockwood type 3 acromioclavicular injuries is controversial. We have chosen a low-profile countered 3.5 mm locking plate and a single Endobutton fixation system (Smith & Nephew) because we provide sufficient stabilization in our case. As a result, 6th month postoperatively, the shoulder range of motions was fully and had no complaints. There are many publications in the literature, the preferred treatment for acromioclavicular joint dislocation is still unclear. We need more cases and longer follow-up to decide on the treatment of rarely combined type injuries.
