ABSTRACT
We present a rare case of clavicle fracture following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). This complication may be caused by the higher tension of the deltoid muscle after RSA, similarly to stress fractures of the acromion. Associated bone disease, i.e. osteoporosis, may contribute. In the few case reports available, the affected patients showed significant functional impairments. In the current case, the fracture was addressed with plate fixation. Despite good intraoperative results, osteosynthesis failure with secondary dislocation of the fracture occurred.
