We reviewed 172 cases of peri-shoulder trauma among a total of 441 cases involving cycle racers. Clavicular fracture occurred in86 cases (20%), more often involving riders in their thirties, and the left clavicle. The occurrence of lateral edge fractures was less than reported in the general population. About 40% of cases fractured again at the same site although re-fracture with displacement was noted less frequently. Time before resumption of racing was shown by questionnaire to be in the order of days and the clavicle tended to be fractured about 4 times. There were 11 scapula fractures and 9 dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint.
