The differential diagnosis of a fractured clavicle includes acute traumatic fracture, stress fracture, pathologic fracture secondary to radiation exposure, neoplasm, infection, or metabolic bone disease, and fracture-like conditions such as infection and bony dysplasias. An appropriate workup should identify most of these underlying conditions. We report a case of concurrent bilateral nontraumatic fractures of the clavicle occurring in a healthy young man in the absence of repetitive trauma…

TLDR
The open-hand diving technique used by this diver for water penetration may have caused repetitive stresses to radiate up the arm to the clavicle and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of clavicular pain in a diver.
Distal Clavicular Stress Fracture in a Female Weight Lifter
TLDR
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of a clavicular stress fracture in a weight lifter reported in the English literature, the first stress fracture of the distal clavicle reported in any athlete, and the first athletic-related clavicles stress fracture to result in nonunion requiring operative intervention.

TLDR
A 27-year-old man is described with a painful tumor-like lesion over the medial clavicle, which was found to be a stress fracture caused by a nervous tic resulting from mental stress.
Fatigue Fracture of the Medial Aspect of the Clavicle
TLDR
A case of stress fracture of the medial aspect of the non-dominant clavicle which was unusual because of its location and the lack of strenuous athletic activity is presented.

’Cable-maker’s clavicle’: stress fracture of the medial clavicle
TLDR
A further, more detailed occupational history was obtained from the patient, which revealed a hitherto undescribed cause of clavicular stress fracture and obviated the need for further imaging or biopsy.
Bilateral stress fracture of the clavicle
TLDR
Routine laboratory studies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D and serum calcium and phosphorus tests disclosed no abnormalities andUrinanalysis findings were within normal limits.
Stress Fracture of the Clavicle in a Female Lightweight Rower
TLDR
This is the first report of clavicular stress fracture in a rower and the majority of stress fractures occur in the lower extremity and in bones that experience significant compressive loading, but fractures in the upper extremities and in nonweightbearing bones, such as the scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, ribs, and clavicle are being increasingly recognized.
Pathologic fracture of the clavicle caused by arteriovenous malformation.
TLDR
An anusual pathologic fracture of clavicle was caused in a 48-year-old woman by an arteriovenous malformation that radiologically mimicked a neoplastic process and was achieved by interrupting the feeding vessels and resecting the involved bony segment.
