Abstract


The number of pedal cyclists seriously injured has increased by 11% between 2009 and 2019 in Great Britain. Bicycle-related trauma remains a public health concern as the number of admitted bicycle injuries is increasing. We present a rare case of a segmental fracture of the clavicle associated with a LeFort midfacial fracture in a female cyclist. We review the literature and discuss the epidemiology, associated injuries and long-term morbidity of cycling-related fractures.
