Abstract des Autors
Purpose: This is the first reported case of a stress fracture of the clavicle in a collegiate diver. Case survey: A 20-year old collegiate platform diver developed left clavicular pain after training for several months. Radiographs and radionuclide bone scan supported a diagnosis of a stress fracture of the left midclavicle. Complete fracture healing followed a period of active rest. Discussion: A literature review of clavicle stress fractures is discussed. The open-hand diving technique used by this diver for water penetration may have caused repetitive stresses to radiate up the arm to the clavicle. Relevance: Stress fractures should be considered in the differential diagnosis of clavicular pain in a diver. Verf.-Referat
