Abstrakt:	Introduction: Open clavicle fractures are rare, and there are no current reported cases in the literature of a missed open clavicle with resultant fracture-related infection and osteomyelitis. Case Report: We present a 65-year-old female with no reported medical history, who presented to our institution with left clavicular pain and wound drainage 8 days after she was struck by a motor vehicle in her home country of Guyana. She was found to have a missed open clavicle fracture with an associated severe infection. She was subsequently treated with irrigation, debridement, and distal clavicle excision. Conclusion: We present this unique case with a potential procedure which could prove beneficial in cases of infection, trauma, or oncologic lesions in which the distal clavicle is deemed unsalvageable.
