Overview

Case report describes surgical fixation leading to excellent functional recovery at 12 months.

Key Points

  • This report aims to highlight a rare case of avulsion fracture at the coracoid process.
  • Described a case of a 59-year-old man with avulsion fracture and distal clavicle fracture.
  • Surgical fixation was performed using a CW plate for the clavicle and a suture anchor for the coracoid.
  • Follow-up assessments included imaging and patient-reported outcome measures at 3, 6, and 12 months.
  • Progressive healing was observed at 3 months, with complete union by 6 months.
  • At 12 months, the patient demonstrated excellent functional recovery with full PROMs.
