Summary

Non-union of medial end clavicle is rare. Though traditionally they have been treated with conservative methods, surgery at initial presentation should be considered in these patients since conservative treatment can lead to non-union. Herniation of spinal cord, though rare, is seen in the thoracic region but can also occur in the cervical region post-traumatically as seen in our patient.
