Clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are incredibly common in both contact and non-collision sports. Historically, many of these injuries were treated conservatively but emerging data over the past 5-10 years has led to greater controversy in selecting the optimal treatment of these injuries in high-level athletes. We will present a case-based discussion and review of the literature with emerging research on the treatment of clavicle fractures as well as AC joint injuries. The interactive format will allow reviewing the diagnostic studies of choice, evidence-based surgical indications, and emerging surgical techniques. Potential complications and clinical outcomes of operative and non-operative treatment will be reviewed.
