Abstract
Fractures of the clavicle are among the most frequent and least harmful of the fractures which may occur in children. They constituted 9.4% of the series reported by Ehalt, and 10%–15% of the cases reported by Renné and Weller. Clavicular fractures made up 3% of the cases in our own records.
