    AbstractSubcoracoid dislocation of the outer end of the clavicle in association with an acromial fracture is a rare injury usually produced by high energy trauma that moves the clavicle posterior to the conjoined tendon and inferior to the coracoid process. To restore the acromioclavicular joint, open reduction is needed. After the reduction is accomplished, the clavicle has to be stabilized with a coracoclavicular screw. The acromial fracture can be reduced and held with nonabsorbable sutures placed through the bone. To avoid osteolysis of the distal end of the clavicle and to be able to repair the torn ligaments, treatment should not be delayed.
