We report a traumatic clavicle fracture in the setting of RTSA that not only failed to heal but also resulted in scapular notching and shoulder pseudoparalysis that was improved with surgical stabilization of the fracture. It is possible that the setting of a semi-constrained RTSA, the resulting biomechanical imbalance may predispose to impaired fracture healing and non-union of the clavicle fracture.
