Abstract

Reported in this article is a case report of a patients who developed limb threatening ischemia as a consequence of a subclavian artery thrombosis resulting from screws. The subclavian artery thrombosis after open reduction and internal fixation of clavicle fracture, when it occurs, should be treated promptly by plate removal and claviculectomy. It can be prevented by placing screws in locations away from the underlying neurovascular structures.
