THE PATIENT UNDERWENT SURGERY ON (B)(6) 2023 FOR AN OPEN REDUCTION WITH INTERNAL FIXATION OF THE RIGHT COMMINUTED MID-SHIFT CLAVICLE FRACTURE. EIGHT WEEKS LATER, THE PATIENT RETURNED TO THE CLINIC, EXPERIENCING PAINFUL POPS IN THE SHOULDER. ON (B)(6) 2023, THE PATIENT UNDERWENT REVISION SURGERY TO REMOVE THE AR-2685DR-10 DISTAL CLAVICLE PLATE. THE REVISION SURGERY WAS A REVISION OPEN REDUCTION AND INTERNAL FIXATION OF THE RIGHT CLAVICLE FRACTURE WITH ILIAC BONE GRAFT AND RIGHT CLAVICLE HARDWARE REMOVAL. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS REPORTED.
