Abstract
We report a case of compound segmental comminuted fracture of the Left clavicle, fracture of second rib, comminuted fracture of scapula with subclavian vein laceration and perforation of the parietal pleura and lung contusion that caused massive haemo-pneumothorax. Emergency exploration followed by repair of subclavian vein, pleura and fixation of clavicle were able to salvage the patient.
