Abstract:
The pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare complication of trauma surgery. The pseudarthrosis is mainly situated in the two medial quarters of the bone. The stable plate-osteosynthesis is regarded as the best treatment in combination with an autologous bone grafting in cases of atrophic or defect-pseudarthrosis. From 1970 to 1981 20 patients were treated at the BG Unfallklinik Tübingen, indication, operative procedures and the results are given. A bony union was achieved in all cases.
