| Abstrakt: | Clavicle fractures are relatively common with the majority treated non-operatively. However, venous thromboembolism (VTE) in association with these fractures is rare, despite conservative treatment involving immobilization rather than surgical intervention. Surgery is a risk factor for thromboembolism and therefore more common when clavicle fractures are treated operatively. There have been a few published case reports of VTE following clavicle fractures that were managed non-operatively. Here we present a unique case of VTE involving the subclavian, brachial, and radial vein following a low-energy injury, with radial involvement being the most distal to date. A literature review is also presented to compare locations of VTE, injury factors, and timeline from injury to VTE presentation.
