ABSTRACT
Fractures of the clavicle and acute dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint are common seen in the emergency room. Displaced or comminuted clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint ruptures (types III-VI) are associated with complications, such as subclavian vessels injury, hemopneumothorax, scapula-thoracic dissociation or brachial plexus paresis. Herein we discuss the usually complications seen after these injuries and underline whatever a trauma surgeon should know in order to avoid fatal situations.
