Medial clavicle fractures are rare in athletes; most fractures occur in high-impact motor vehicle accidents. Due to the proximity of major blood vessels and nerves, careful examination and proper diagnosis and treatment are necessary to ensure an optimal outcome. This case involves a high school football player with a deformity at the sternoclavicular region following trauma. Imaging ultimately revealed a medial clavicle fracture involving the medial physis that mimicked a dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint.

The Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) were used to determine the effects of gender on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in adolescent athletes. Two hundred nineteen athletes (121 females: mean age, 16.161.0; 98 males: mean age, 15.861.2) completed the SF-36 and the PODCI in a single session. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normality of the data; the Mann-Whitney U test was used to identify gender differences. Significance was set at P < .05. Female athletes had lower HRQOL values than male athletes on the SF-36 vitality (P = .035) subscale and the mental component summary (P = .024) score. Female athletes also had lower HRQOL scores on the PODCI happiness subscale (P < .001). Few differences were found in HRQOL across gender. Differences were found in psychological aspects of HRQOL, with female athletes having lower psychological well-being than male athletes.
