Circumstances of the Injury:

On August 22, 2025, he was at his position when a sudden mortar attack began. The team rushed into a dugout, but it took a direct hit. The blast force buried him under soil and wooden beams, and one of the beams fractured his clavicle. His fellow soldiers quickly reacted, pulled him out from under the debris, and provided first aid.

Diagnosis:

Closed fracture of the right clavicle with displacement.

A closed fracture of the right clavicle with displacement means that the bone broke internally, without an open wound, but the fragments shifted from their normal alignment. This type of injury causes severe pain, swelling, limited shoulder and arm movement, and typically requires immobilization or surgery to ensure proper healing.

Clinical Decision:

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with a plate and screws for the right clavicle.

Open reduction and internal fixation of the right clavicle is a surgical procedure in which the fractured bone is aligned and secured using a special metal plate and screws. The surgeon repositions the bone fragments into their correct anatomical position and fixes them in place to ensure proper healing, prevent further displacement, and restore the strength and function of the clavicle.
