Abstract:
Thrombosis in the upper limbs is a rare condition. We report on a case of subclavian artery thrombosis that occurred following open reduction and internal fixation of fracture in the middle third of the left clavicle. This is difficult to diagnose and requires a high index of suspicion. Early recognition can prevent fatal thromboembolic complications and disability.
