Both surgical or nonsurgical management of bilateral clavicle fractures have advantages and disadvantages. Hence a patient must be advised for shared decision making. Our patient was a painter by occupation with a left-sided dominant hand. Considering his job and financial constraints, we fixed his left clavicle fracture surgically and treated his right-sided clavicle fracture conservatively. We suggest based on our report concerning this rare injury, is that not all fractures need to be fixed surgically. Patient needs and other factors should be taken into consideration before taking the patient for surgical management.
双侧锁骨骨折的手术或非手术治疗都有优缺点。因此，必须建议患者进行共同决策。我们的患者职业是画家，惯用左手。考虑到他的工作和经济限制，我们对他的左侧锁骨骨折进行了手术固定，对右侧锁骨骨折进行了保守治疗。基于我们关于这种罕见损伤的报告，我们建议并非所有骨折都需要手术固定。在对患者进行手术治疗之前，应考虑患者的需求和其他因素。
