“…6,12,14 Occasionally, surgical treatment is needed. [1][2][3][4][5][8][9][10] Posttraumatic locked dislocation of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle causing neurologic symptoms as a result of direct pressure on the brachial plexus has not been reported previously. It was successfully treated by open reduction of the dislocation, excision of the pseudarthrotic bone ends, and internal fixation with local bone graft.…”

“…One of 10 cases was complicated by an acute massive neuropraxia of the brachial plexus postoperatively, successfully treated by immediate removal of the Steinmann pin. Quinlan et al 16 reconstructed the clavicle by using an iliac crest bone graft and stabilised it with an AO plate and screws. Others have suggested excision of the pseudarthrosis and grafting without using any type of fixation.…”

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare entity of unknown aetiology. Its pathogenesis is related to the embryology of the clavicle. We present a 6-year-old girl with congenital pseudarthrosis of the right clavicle. A prominence was noticed at birth between the middle and distal ends of the clavicle that increased in size when the right shoulder was actively mobilised. Radiographic examination revealed a hypertrophic pseudarthrosis of the clavicle. The pseudarthrosis was resected and the clavicular segments were fixed with an external fixator for 2 months until union. Clinical results were excellent at the 7-year follow-up: the right shoulder was pain-free and the appearance satisfactory. Surgical treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle in children using an external fixator provides a better cosmetic outcome with smaller postoperative scars and avoids a second surgical procedure to remove the implants.
