Delayed presentation of Subclavian venous thrombosis following undisplaced clavicle fracture

Delayed presentation of Subclavian venous thrombosis following undisplaced clavicle fracture

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Medial clavicle fractures are uncommon, accounting for approximately 5 percent of all clavicle fractures. Vascular injuries are uncommon but are recognised as either an immediate complication due to transection of the vessel by the displaced fracture, or as a lat...
