  ABSTRACT: Coracoid process fractures are unusual injuries, especially in children. They are frequently associated with additional injuries of the shoulder girdle. We report a rare case of fracture of the base of the coracoid process associated with a fracture of the distal end of the clavicle in an immature skeleton. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT-scan. The fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Functional outcomes were good. The clinical signs of coracoid fracture are not specific and fracture can be overlooked in standard X-ray. The CT-scan allows the diagnosis. The treatment is surgical except for isolated non-displaced fractures. Functional outcomes are usually good.
