Subclavian Vein Thrombosis following Fracture of the Clavicle: Case Report.

چکیده
Deep vein thrombosis in the upper limbs is uncommon in the orthopedic literature.

This is difficult to diagnose and requires a high degree of suspicion. Treating it may prevent fatal thromboembolism. In some rare cases, it has been described in association with fractures of the clavicle.
