Fall on outstretched hand leads to fracture of the following bones
High-Yield Explanation
Clavicle is commonly fractured by falling on the outstretched hand (indirect violence). The most common site of fracture is the junction between the two curvatures of the bone, which is the weakest point. The lateral fragment is displaced downwards by the weight of the limb as trapezius muscle alone is unable to suppo the weight of upper limb. B D Chaurasia 7th edition Page no: 8
