title: [Secondary dislocation of primarily unnoticed fracture of the medial clavicle].
abstract: This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy with a bipolar fracture of the left clavicle. The patient crashed into a car on a moped with 40 mph. In the accident & emergency department (A&E) the patient was examined physically and by X-ray. There was no protruding bone or threatened skin. The X-ray showed a lateral clavicle fracture, but there were no clinical or radiological signs of medial fracture. The treatment was conservative. Three days later the patient was referred to A&E due to increasing pain and bone protruding of the medial clavicle. A computed tomography revealed a displaced medial and lateral clavicle fracture. The treatment was altered to operative treatment.
