A 13-year-old boy, with no past medical history, was admitted after a car accident on October 29, 1989. On admission, he was alert. Physical examination revealed a bruise on the left frontal region, a fracture of right clavicula and right hemopneumothorax. He was treated with respirator due to dyspnea. On November 1, 1989, he was removed from respirator and expressed diplopia. Neurological examination showed bilateral ptosis, mild anisocoria, normal light reflex and horizontal gaze nystagmus in lateral gaze. Both eyes were deviated outward slightly in the primary position and showed inability to converge. The external ocular movements of both eyes were mildly limited in elevation and adduction. Ataxia was observed in bilateral upper extremities. Deep reflexes were normal and no pathological reflexes were observed. Brain CT scans showed no abnormality. On November 6, 1989, his ptosis and diplopia improved. On November 8, he was completely recovered. A magnetic resonance imaging on November 10 revealed no abnormality. We suggested that transient dysfunction of midbrain associated with head injury might cause transient bilateral primary oculomotor nerve paresis, nystagmus and ataxia.

Fractures of the clavicle and acute dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint are common seen in the emergency room. Displaced or comminuted clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint ruptures (types III-VI) are associated with complications, such as subclavian vessels injury, hemopneumothorax, scapula-thoracic dissociation or brachial plexus paresis. Herein we discuss the usually complications seen after these injuries and underline whatever a trauma surgeon should know in order to avoid fatal situations.

The objective of our literature review was to inform orthopaedic nurses about the complications of clavicular fracture, which are easily misdiagnosed. For this purpose, we searched MEDLINE (1965-2005) using the key words clavicle, fracture, and complications. Fractures of the clavicle are usually thought to be easily managed by symptomatic treatment in a broad arm sling. However, it is well recognized that not all clavicular fractures have a good outcome. Displaced or comminuted clavicle fractures are associated with complications such as subclavian vessels injury, hemopneumothorax, brachial plexus paresis, nonunion, malunion, posttraumatic arthritis, refracture, and other complications related to osteosynthesis. Herein, we describe what the orthopaedic nurse should know about the complications of clavicular fractures.
