Description
Dhoj, Pandey, and Thakur report a rare open fracture of the collarbone in a 37-year-old man hurt by a wood cutting machine. Open collarbone breaks make up under 2 percent of fractures. The wound measured eight by six centimeters, with bone exposed, though the patient stayed stable.
Emergency care brought tetanus cover, antibiotics, and wound cleaning. On day four, surgeons fixed the bone with an anatomical locking plate and screws. Gentle sling support served until surgery, and therapy afterward restored function with clean healing. The authors urge treating such breaks like other open long-bone fractures: clean early, cover with antibiotics, and fix promptly.
