چکیده

Stress fractures of the clavicle are rare. This is the report of one such fracture in a 10 year old female gymnast, who presented with a six week history of medial clavicular pain. Radiographs and a computed tomography scan showed an undisplaced fracture through the medial third of the clavicle extending inferiorly to the rhomboid fossa in the inferior aspect of the clavicle. Pathological fracture was excluded by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was treated conservatively and was able to return to full training eight weeks later.
