Dual plate fixation for combined mid-clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint injury: a case report

This case report presents a rare injury involving a combined mid-clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury. While conservative management is typically recommended for Rockwood's grade I and II AC joint injuries, surgical intervention is commonly advised for grade IV, V, and VI injuries. However, there is limited literature addressing the management of mid-clavicle fractures in conjunction with ipsilateral AC joint injuries.
