Stress fractures are relatively uncommon sports injuries and when they do occur, are mostly found in the lower limb. Stress fractures of the clavicle are particularly rare, having been described in a number of non-sport related pathologies, such as nervous tics and post radical neck dissection. In sport, there have only been seven cases reported in the literature. We report on a clavicle stress fracture in a 47-year-old male, partaking in recreational weight lifting activities. This is the first reported case of a non-union stress fracture of the clavicle. The patient underwent an open reduction and internal fixation and made a full recovery.
应力性骨折是相对不常见的运动损伤，一旦发生，大多出现在下肢。锁骨应力性骨折尤为罕见，在一些非运动相关的病症中曾有过描述，如神经抽搐和根治性颈清扫术后。在体育运动中，文献仅报道过7例。我们报告了一例47岁男性的锁骨应力性骨折病例，该患者参与休闲举重活动。这是首例报告的锁骨骨不连应力性骨折病例。患者接受了切开复位内固定手术并完全康复。
