Two views of the clavicle demonstrate a fracture at the junction of middle and outer third. Displacement is best seen on the lordotic angled view.
Case Discussion
This case demonstrates a clavicular fracture in the typical location, albeit with less superior displacement of the proximal component than is normal. However, it does demonstrate the need and usefulness of oblique views.
