Abstract

We report three cases of coracoid fracture with acromioclavicular dislocation. One case was a 14-year-old with an epiphyseal lesion of the coracoid process. As this fracture is not readily visualized by anteroposterior x-ray, both an axillary and anteroposterior cephalic tilt view of 30 degrees are needed. Operative therapy was performed in all cases and the coracoclavicular ligament was intact.We believe this fracture with acromioclavicular dislocation occurs with an avulsion force of the coracoclavicular ligament.
