Abstract
We present a case of missed clavicular fracture in a patient with an associated wrist fracture but without head injury. This is the first case of missed clavicular fracture in an adult, despite adequate imaging, and without head injury presenting two days after the patient was discharged after fixation of the distal radius fracture.
