Right clavicle with malunited fracture

Object numberGC.5869
TitleRight clavicle with malunited fracture
DescriptionAn adult right clavicle showing an ununited fracture.
Commencing posteriorly at the junction of the medial and middle thirds of the bone the fracture has passed obliquely and laterally through the middle third. There is some rarefaction of the bone at the edges of the fracture and some new nodules of bone have formed. The appearances suggest that the fracture began as simple at first but later became compound.
