Clavicle Classifications

The document discusses various classifications for clavicle fractures and sternoclavicular joint injuries. It describes the Allman, Neer's, Craig, and Robinson classifications for clavicle fractures, which divide fractures based on their location in the clavicle. Neer's classification is also discussed for distal clavicle fractures. The Allman classification further classifies sternoclavicular joint injuries based on the extent of ligament disruption.
