Coracoid process fractures are unusual injuries especially in children. They are frequently associated with additional injuries of shoulder girdle. We report a rare case of fracture of the base of coracoid process associated with a fracture of 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. .
