Distal Clavicle Physeal Separation Mimicking an Acromioclavicular Joint Separation: A Case Report.

Distal clavicle fractures are rare in children, and acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separations are exceedingly rare. Differentiating between the 2 is often difficult radiographically and clinically. Our case represents a Type IV distal clavicle fracture but could be confused with an ACJ separation. Surgical treatment was successful.
