Although rare, vascular complications are a known risk due to the clavicle\u2019s anatomical proximity to the subclavian vessels. A delayed subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm is a very uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication that surgeons must be aware of, as recognition may be challenging.\n\nCase Report: A 17-year-old female sustained a displaced midshaft clavicle fracture while playing ice hockey and was treated with an open reduction and internal fixation. The fracture healed uneventfully, and the patient returned to full athletic activity. However, nearly 7 years later, the patient presented back with a painless right supraclavicular mass that was initially suspected to be lymphadenopathy caused by Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma. During the subsequent open biopsy, brisk arterial bleeding revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery. The lesion was repaired intraoperatively, and the patient recovered without neurological deficit or further vascular complications. Follow-up vascular imaging demonstrated a thrombosed pseudoaneurysm without evidence of ongoing arterial flow; therefore, no further intervention was sought.\n\nConclusion: A delayed subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm can present several years after a clavicle fracture fixation, even in the absence of radiographic risk factors. Persistent or growing supraclavicular masses, vascular concerns, or exertional neurological symptoms in patients with prior clavicle injury should prompt vascular evaluation.\n\nKeywords: Clavicle fracture, subclavian artery, pseudoaneurysm, vascular complication, orthopedic fixation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i06.7520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T08:31:16Z","timestamp":1781166676000},"page":"491-497","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Delayed Pseudoaneurysm of the Subclavian Artery Following Clavicle Fracture Fixation: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Madeline","family":"Wethington","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Levitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deaprtment of Orthopedic Surgery, Frank H.
