Introduction: Among clavicle injuries, clavicle dislocation is uncommon and challenging to treat. We describe a patient who had an anterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation as well as bipolar clavicle dislocation.
dislocation of the acomioclavicular joint to the side. Due to the rarity of this type of injury, treatment is still debatable. Here, we report successful open reduction and internal fixation utilizing the LARS artificial ligament stabilization approach in a 53-year-old male.

PRESENTATION OF CASE
The patient, a 53-year-old porter, suffered a left shoulder injury in January 2019 after falling from a truck while at work. An X-ray taken later revealed a clalvicle dislocation and tear in the ribbon. This patient tried nonoperative treatments including physical therapy and a shoulder-elbow sling in an effort to avoid surgery, but they were unsuccessful. He visited our hospital’s outpatient department a month later. The dislocation was still present, according to the CT and X-ray images. He was still experiencing pain when moving his shoulders in both passive and active directions. There was no prior history of drug or alcohol use. A radiographic imaging review was conducted. When compared to the opposite side, the left AC joint was wider. An In the left SC joint, coronal and horizontal dislocation was discovered. He had trouble moving his shoulder and was completely unable to raise his arm.
