High-Yield Explanation
Fractures of the clavicle typically occur at the junction of medial 3/5th and lateral 2/5th. Middle third of the clavicle is the most common site for a fracture, especially the junction of medial 3/5th and lateral 2/5th. It is the junction where the 2 primary ossification centers meet. It is also where the transition from antecurve to retrocurve begins and is prone to be at high risk for fractures. Ref : Gray's Anatomy - The Anatomical Basics of Clinical Practice 41e pg 801.e1
