Influence of coracoclavicular heterotopic ossifications in treatment of clavicular fractures

The present case report suggests that ossified CC ligaments may impact clavicular biomechanics, potentially offering increased stability at the CC attachment and acting as a protective shield during trauma. This observation may indicate a possible predisposition to fractures in the clavicular region medial to the CC ligaments. While we cannot determine causality based on this single case, pronounced ossification of the CC ligaments could increase local stiffness and alter load distribution.
