Clavicular Fracture

Clavicle fractures are common shoulder injuries resulting from falls or trauma. Dr Edoardo Giovannetti De Sanctis, based in Nice, provides international patients across the French Riviera with advanced fracture management, including both conservative and surgical treatment, followed by tailored rehabilitation.

A clavicular fracture is a common injury caused by direct trauma to the shoulder or a fall onto the arm, leading to a break in the collarbone.

Symptoms include sharp pain, bruising, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected limb.

The fracture may cause a visible bump or abnormal positioning of the shoulder.

While many clavicle fractures heal well with conservative treatment, such as immobilisation, some cases, especially those with significant displacement, may require surgical fixation.

Proper evaluation ensures optimal healing and rapid return to normal function.
