Abstract

Altough neurovascular injury following clavicular fracture is significant problems, the incidence is low. Furthermore authors have not be able to find a report which describes subclavian artery injury as a sequela of operative treatment with a screw. We are reporting the case with compression of the subclavian artery by an inadequately long screw, emphasizing the importance of proper technique in implantation.
