Abstract
Patients with threatened arteriovenous access are often found to have central venous stenoses at the ipsilateral costoclavicular junction, which may be resistant to endovascular intervention. Stenoses in this location may not resolve unless surgical decompression of thoracic outlet is performed to relieve the extrinsic compression on the subclavian vein. The authors reviewed the management of dialysis patients with central venous lesions at the thoracic outlet, as well as the role of surgical decompression with first-rib resection or claviculectomy for salvage of threatened, ipsilateral dialysis access.

[PMID: 38255092 PMCID: PMC10815155 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12020202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), also known as sclerosing osteomyelitis of Garrè, is a rare inflammatory bone disease with a specific clinical picture, uncertain pathogenesis, and no consensus on an effective treatment. Most frequently affecting other long bones, CNO may rarely involve the clavicle. The aim of this study was to present the results of a series of patients affected by CNO of the clavicle treated with total and partial clavicula resection. In addition, a literature review of different types of treatment of CNO was performed. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed three patients with Sclerosing Osteomyelitis of Garre' of the clavicle treated with partial resection of the clavicle (one) and with total clavicular resection (two). (3) Results: Patients (two female and one male) were an average age of 35.7 years at the time of the operation. At the 4-year follow-up, the mean active ROM was: 143° forward flexion, 133° abduction, 42° external rotation with an internal rotation of two patients at the interscapular level and one patient at the lumbosacral junction. The mean ASES score was 92/100 (range 87-100). In the literature review, after screening the abstracts and full texts for eligibility, 34 studies met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: Partial or total clavicular resection resulted an effective treatment of CNO of the clavicle. The procedure seems to be particularly indicated after the failure of more conservative treatments.

Case report: Intraosseous hemangioma of the lateral clavicle treated by surgical resection and reconstructed by three-dimensional-printed personalized prosthesis. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 10:1085674. [PMID: 36698635 PMCID: PMC9868392 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1085674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Intraosseous hemangiomas occurring the clavicle is uncommon. Reconstruction of the clavicle is suggested to maintain the normal shoulder joint function and prevent adverse outcomes. Complex anatomy shape of the clavicle remains a great challenge for prosthetic reconstruction of the clavicle. Case presentation: A 37-year-old female with no conclusive history of trauma presented with progressive mass at the right lateral clavicle for 5 years. The patient was treated by surgical resection and reconstructed by three-dimensional-printed personalized prosthesis. Postoperatively radiographic examinations revealed a good position of the prosthesis, neither breakage nor loosening was detected. The right shoulder mobility returned to approximate level of preoperative shoulder 2 months after surgical reconstruction, with the range of motion of flexion 80°, extension 40°, abduction 80°, adduction 30°, external rotation 55°, and internal rotation 60°. The patient maintained the normal shoulder function during the 48 months follow-up period. There was no pain during shoulder motion. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS) score was 29 and the Functional Evaluation Form recommended by the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was 95. Conclusion: 3D-printed personalized prosthesis is a good option to reconstruct the lateral clavicle bone defect and restore the shoulder support structure. It maintains the normal shoulder joint function and avoids adverse effects on daily activities after claviculectomy.

Free vascularized fibular flap for clavicle reconstruction: A systematic review with a new case. J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 2023; 76:271-282. [PMID: 36538867 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjps.2022.08.078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Due to the rarity of the need for claviculectomy and the subsequent clavicle reconstruction, currently there is no consensus on the reconstructive approach for the clavicle. The clavicle is an essential bony structure that is necessary for optimal upper limb anatomical and physiological functionalities. OBJECTIVE This study analyzes the reconstructive approach, vascular anastomosis, complications, and long-term outcome of clavicle reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular flap through a systematic review of the literature and a case report from our institution. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was executed in the Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. The search strategy was designed to capture the concept of cases that underwent clavicle reconstruction after necessary claviculectomy with sufficient clinical information for detailed analysis. Using the final included articles, we analyzed and summarized the outcomes associated with clavicle reconstruction using free fibular osteocutaneous flap. RESULTS A review of 179 articles yielded 11 publications with 26 cases that had detailed clinical information. We presented an additional case from our institution database. The systematic review of 27 cases revealed that clavicle nonunion due to various causes accounted for 73.08% of the cases for claviculectomy and the eventual reconstruction with a free fibular flap. The mean follow-up period in this study is 29.54 months with the range of 3 to 120 months. A total of 92.31% of the cases showed evidence of complete osseous consolidation. CONCLUSION When claviculectomy is necessary, a free fibular flap can be utilized for the subsequent clavicle reconstruction to provide optimal anatomical and physiological functionality of the clavicle.

Abstract
Periosteal osteosarcoma arising from clavicle is extremely rare with only two cases documented in English literature. Diagnosis based on the relation of clinical symptoms, radiology and histology. Current treatment included neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and wide resection of the tumor. Total claviculectomy without reconstruction can achieved good oncological and functional outcome.

Abstract
Gun violence reached a 20-year peak in 2020, with the first-line treatment of axillosubclavian vascular injuries (SAVIs) remaining unknown. Traditional open exposure is difficult and exposes patients to iatrogenic venous and brachial plexus injury. The practice of endovascular treatment has been increasing. We performed a retrospective analysis of SAVIs at a level I trauma center. Seven patients were identified. Endovascular repair was performed in five patients. Technical success was 100%. The early results suggest that endovascular treatment of trauma-related SAVIs can be performed safely and effectively. However, complications such as stent thrombosis or occlusion can occur, demonstrating the need for surveillance.

Abstract
Background: Non-unions of clavicle fracture after conservative treatment have been treated surgically, but carry a risk of complications. The aim of this study is to report the outcomes of non-operative treatment for patients with non-union of fractures of the mid-shaft of the clavicle following initial conservative treatment. Methods: This is a retrospective study done at a single centre. Subjects with non-union after conservative treatment of clavicle mid-shaft fractures between March 2004 and February 2019 were included in this study. The exclusion criteria included follow-up period <1 year after the diagnosis of non-union and concomitant upper extremity injury. Final radiographs were assessed for fracture healing, vertical displacement, and shortening. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, shoulder range of motion (ROM) and self-rated outcomes were obtained. Results: Fourteen patients (five females) with an average age of 58 (range, 29-76) years and a mean follow-up duration of 4.0 (range, 1.5-10.2) years were included in the study. The average vertical fracture displacement was 188.7 (range, 95.4-301.4) percent and the average shortening was 13.2 (range, 2.7-16.9) percent. The average VAS pain score was 0.21 (range, 0-2) points. There was no significant difference in the ROM between the injured and uninjured shoulder (p = 0.715 for forward flexion, 0.070 for abduction and 0.714 for external rotation) and the Constant shoulder score (p = 0.190). Thirteen of the 14 patients were satisfied with the treatment, and 12 returned to their pre-injury level of sports participation. Conclusions: Non-operative treatment resulted in a favourable outcome for patients with non-union of clavicle fracture after conservative treatment. Self-rated outcome score was excellent, regardless of the presence of radiographic abnormalities. Level of Evidence: Level IV (Therapeutic).

Abstract
Subclavian artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare, and their repair can be technically complex. We have reported the redo repair of a large, expanding, right SAA after primary repair consisting of total aortic arch replacement with bilateral subclavian artery ligation and bypass. The redo repair used claviculectomy to facilitate exposure, ligation of the right deep cervical and internal thoracic arteries from within the aneurysm sac, and revision of the previous axillary artery bypass that had thrombosed owing to the mass effect of the expanding SAA. Claviculectomy can facilitate repair of large SAAs that are poorly suited to more routine exposure approaches, with acceptable risk and functional outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction: This case report describes the reconstruction of a severe comminuted fracture and bone defect in the lateral half of the clavicle using a novel titanium prosthesis. This unique prosthesis has been specifically designed and three dimensionally printed for the clavicle, as opposed to the Oklahoma cemented composite prosthesis used in common practice. The aims of this study were to: (1) describe the prosthesis, its stress analysis, and its surgical fixation and (2) to demonstrate the results of the 2-year follow-up of the patient with the lateral clavicle prosthesis. Patient's Main Concerns: A 20-year-old, right-handed woman complaining of severe pain in the right shoulder was admitted to our hospital following a traffic accident. Physical examination revealed pain, swelling, tenderness, limb weakness, asymmetric posturing, and loss of function in the right shoulder. Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes: Radiographic evaluation in the emergency room showed complete destruction with a comminuted fracture of the lateral half of the right clavicle and a comminuted fracture of the coracoid. We designed a new prosthesis for the lateral half of the clavicle, which was then tested by finite element analysis and implanted. Use of the new prosthesis was effective in the reconstruction of the comminuted fracture in the lateral half of the clavicle. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient had an aesthetically acceptable curve and was able to perform her activities of daily living. Her pain was relieved, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score improved. Active range of motion of the shoulder joint and muscle strength were also improved. Conclusion: This novel prosthesis is recommended for reconstruction of the lateral half of the clavicle following development of bony defects due to fracture. Our patient achieved functional and aesthetic satisfaction with this prosthesis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Three-dimensional (3D) printing has attracted wide attention for its potential and abilities in the assistance of surgical planning and the development of personalized prostheses. We herewith report a unique case of chronic clavicle osteomyelitis treated with a two-stage subtotal clavicle reconstruction using a 3D printed polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) prosthesis. PATIENT CONCERNS A 23-year-old Chinese female presented to our clinic complaining about a progressive pain of her right clavicle for about 1 year. DIAGNOSES Chronic clavicle osteomyelitis confirmed by percutaneous biopsy and lesion biopsy. INTERVENTIONS This patient accepted a long-term conservative treatment, which did not gain satisfactory outcomes. Thus, a subtotal removal and two-stage reconstruction of the right clavicle with a 3D-printed polyether-ether-ketone prosthesis stabilized by screw fixation system was performed. OUTCOMES At 2-year follow-up, complete pain relief and satisfactory functional recovery of her right shoulder were observed. LESSONS Personalized 3D printed prosthesis is an effective and feasible method for reconstruction of complex bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the anatomy of the transverse cervical artery and to prove its perfusion to the clavicle using indocyanine green fluorescence angiography as an alternative vascularized bone for head and neck reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric dissection. SETTING Anatomy lab. METHODS Twenty-two necks and shoulders from 11 fresh-frozen cadavers were dissected. The transverse cervical artery diameter, length, emerging point, and the length of clavicle segment harvested were described. Photographic and near-infrared video recordings of the bone's medial and longitudinal cut surfaces were taken prior to, during, and after indocyanine green injection. RESULTS The transverse cervical artery originated from the thyrocervical trunk and emerged at the level of the medial one-third of the clavicle in 22 of 22 (100%) specimens. The average length of the pedicle was 3.6 cm (range, 2.2-4.4 cm), and the mean diameter was 2.5 mm (range, 1.8-3.4 mm). The harvested bone had a mean length of 5.1 cm (range, 4.3-5.8 cm). After injecting the indocyanine green, 22 of 22 (100%) specimens showed enhancement in the periosteum, bony cortex, and medulla. CONCLUSION The middle third of the clavicle can be reliably harvested as a vascularized bone with its perfusion solely from the transverse cervical artery pedicle, as shown by the near-infrared fluorescence imaging. The pedicle was sizable and constant in origin.

Giuseppe LU, Laura RA, Berton A, Candela V, Massaroni C, Carnevale A, Stelitano G, Schena E, Nazarian A, DeAngelis J, Denaro V. Scapular Dyskinesis: From Basic Science to Ultimate Treatment. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17082974. [PMID: 32344746 PMCID: PMC7215460 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17082974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Background: This study intends to summarize the causes, clinical examination, and treatments of scapular dyskinesis (SD) and to briefly investigate whether alteration can be managed by a precision rehabilitation protocol planned on the basis of features derived from clinical tests. Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and EMBASE databases using various combinations of the keywords “Rotator cuff”, “Scapula”, “Scapular Dyskinesis”, “Shoulder”, “Biomechanics” and “Arthroscopy”. Results: SD incidence is growing in patients with shoulder pathologies, even if it is not a specific injury or directly related to a particular injury. SD can be caused by multiple factors or can be the trigger of shoulder-degenerative pathologies. In both cases, SD results in a protracted scapula with the arm at rest or in motion. Conclusions: A clinical evaluation of altered shoulder kinematics is still complicated. Limitations in observing scapular motion are mainly related to the anatomical position and function of the scapula itself and the absence of a tool for quantitative SD clinical assessment. High-quality clinical trials are needed to establish whether there is a possible correlation between SD patterns and the specific findings of shoulder pathologies with altered scapular kinematics.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:2364-2370. [PMID: 31371161 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2019.04.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recalcitrant clavicular nonunion is a rare but complicated problem of clavicular fracture fixation. Nonunion is most often treated with clavicular shortening or in extreme cases vascularized bone grafting. Herein we describe our experience using the vascularized medial femoral condyle (MFC) free flap for the reconstruction of segmental defects in cases of recalcitrant clavicular nonunion. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with symptomatic recalcitrant nonunion of the clavicle who underwent reconstruction with the vascularized MFC free flap from June 2003 to January 2018. Patients' demographics, time to union, and postoperative complications were collected. RESULTS A total of 7 patients (6 women; 39.8 ± 9.01 years old) underwent clavicular reconstruction after an average of 3.7 ± 1.3 previous surgical procedures. Average preoperative visual analog scale score for pain was 4.1. The graft size ranged from 2 to 5 cm in length with approximately 1 cm in width and depth. The average time of total nonunion was 66 ± 48.2 months before surgery. All flaps survived and all clavicles healed with an average time to radiographic union of 15 ± 6.7 months. Patients regained full shoulder motion, and average postoperative visual analog scale score was 1.6 ± 1.8. All patients returned to their preoperative employment status. Donor site morbidity from the knee was minimal. CONCLUSION The MFC free flap is a good option for recalcitrant bone nonunion of the clavicle where larger vascularized flaps are not warranted. It is effective and offers minimal donor site morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) attempts to define the patient's experience of treatment outcomes. Efforts at calculating the MCID have yielded multiple and inconsistent MCID values. The purposes of this review were to describe the usage of the MCID in the most recent orthopaedic literature, to explain the limitations of its current uses, and to clarify the underpinnings of MCID calculation. Subsequently, we hope that the information presented here will help practitioners to better understand the MCID and to serve as a guide for future efforts to calculate the MCID. The first part of this review focuses on the upper-extremity orthopaedic literature. Part II will focus on the lower-extremity orthopaedic literature. METHODS A review was conducted of the 2014 to 2016 publications in The Journal of Arthroplasty, The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, The American Journal of Sports Medicine, Foot & Ankle International, Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, and Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. Only clinical science articles utilizing patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores were included in the analysis. A keyword search was then performed to identify articles that calculated or referenced the MCID. Articles were then further categorized into upper-extremity and lower-extremity publications. MCID utilization in the selected articles was subsequently characterized and recorded. RESULTS The MCID was referenced in 129 (7.5%) of 1,709 clinical science articles that utilized PROMs: 52 (40.3%) of 129 were related to the upper extremity, 5 (9.6%) of 52 independently calculated MCID values, and 47 (90.4%) of 52 used previously published MCID values as a gauge of their own results. MCID values were considered or calculated for 16 PROMs; 12 of these were specific to the upper extremity. Six different methods were used to calculate the MCID. Calculated MCIDs had a wide range of values for the same PROM (e.g., 8 to 36 points for Constant-Murley scores and 6.4 to 17 points for American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES] scores). CONCLUSIONS Determining useful MCID values remains elusive and is compounded by the proliferation of PROMs in the field of orthopaedics. The fundamentals of MCID calculation methods should be critically evaluated. If necessary, these methods should be corrected or abandoned. Furthermore, the type of change intended to be measured should be clarified: beneficial, detrimental, or small or large changes. There should also be assurance that the calculation method actually measures the intended change. Finally, the measurement error should consistently be reported. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The MCID is increasingly used as a measure of patients' improvement. However, the MCID does not yet adequately capture the clinical importance of patients' improvement.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:1654-1657.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although curettage of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the clavicle has a high rate of local recurrence, segmental resection is often avoided for treatment as it causes functional impairment and shoulder deformity. We evaluated the rate of local recurrence and functional outcomes of extended curettage vs. segmental resection with bone reconstruction for the treatment of clavicular ABC. METHODS A total of 14 patients with clavicular ABC were studied. Extended curettage and segmental resection with bone reconstruction were done for 6 and 8 patients, respectively. The number of local recurrences and postoperative complications was recorded for each group. The function of the shoulder was assessed using the Constant-Murley score. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 26.2 ± 14.7 years (range, 4-56 years). At a mean follow-up of 60 ± 37.6 months, 2 recurrences developed, both in the curettage group. Two postoperative complications (1 infection and 1 nonunion) were also recorded, both in the segmental resection group. The mean Constant-Murley score was 88.2 ± 3.4 in the extended curettage group and 87.3 ± 2.4 in the segmental resection group (P = .85). CONCLUSIONS Considering the comparable function of the shoulder in curettage and segmental resection with bone reconstruction in clavicular ABC, we recommend the latter approach because of the lower recurrence rate, albeit with a higher rate of potential complications.

Abstract
Background To retrospectively analyze the tumor resection method used in 20 patients with clavicular tumors and evaluate its clinical efficacy. Methods A total of 9 patients with clavicular benign tumors underwent intracapsular resection, and 11 patients with clavicular malignant tumors underwent tumor resection from May 2012 to May 2017. Of the 11 patients, 5 underwent clavicular reconstruction using the plate-cement complex. Surgical efficacy was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, Constant-Murley, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder outcome scores preoperatively until 12 months postoperatively. Results The average duration of follow-up care was 33.7 (12–71) months. Of the 20 patients, 3 patients died, 3 survived with tumor recurrence or metastasis, and 14 survived with no tumor recurrence. Among the 5 patients who underwent resection of malignant clavicular tumors and reconstruction, 2 underwent a re-operation because of a loose screw and plate displacement. In the functional assessment of the shoulder joint, patients with benign and malignant clavicular tumors showed significantly higher scores postoperatively compared with preoperative scores. For malignant clavicular tumors, no significant improvement was observed when comparing the non-reconstruction and reconstruction groups. Conclusions Surgery is an optimal treatment for clavicular tumors. In patients with benign clavicular tumors, simple intracapsular resection can achieve a satisfactory prognosis. Reconstruction of a clavicular defect after resection of a clavicular malignant tumor is not recommended.

Total clavicle reconstruction with free peroneal graft for the surgical management of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis of the clavicle: a case report. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:211. [PMID: 31084601 PMCID: PMC6515610 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2588-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare chronic autoinflammatory syndrome affecting mainly children and young adults. The natural history of the disease is marked by recurrent pain as the mainstay of inflammatory outbreaks. Typical radiographic findings are osteosclerosis and hyperostosis of the medial clavicle, sternum and first rib. Compression of the brachial plexus is exceedingly rare and one of the few surgical indications. Literature on total clavicle reconstruction is scarce. While claviclectomy alone has been associated with fair functional and cosmetic outcomes, several reconstruction techniques with autograft, allograft or even cement ("Oklahoma prosthesis") have been reported with the aim of achieving better pain control, cosmetic outcome and protecting the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels. We herewith report a unique case of complicated CNO of the clavicle treated with total clavicle reconstruction using a free peroneal graft. CASE PRESENTATION A 21-year-old female patient presented with CNO of her left clavicle, associated with recurrent, progressive and debilitating pain as well as limited range of motion. In recent years, she started complaining of paresthesia, weakness and pain radiating to her left arm during arm abduction. The clavicle diameter reached 6 cm on computed tomography, with direct compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels. Following surgical biopsy for diagnosis confirmation, she further developed a chronic cutaneous fistula. Therefore, a two-stage total clavicle reconstruction using a vascularized peroneal graft stabilized by ligamentous reconstruction was performed. At two-year follow-up, complete pain relief and improvement of her left shoulder Constant-Murley score were observed, along with satisfactory cosmetic outcome. CONCLUSIONS This case illustrates a rarely described complication of CNO with direct compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels, and chronic cutaneous fistula. To our knowledge, there is no consensus regarding the optimal management of this rare condition in this context. Advantages and complications of clavicle reconstruction should be carefully discussed with patients due to limited evidence of superior clinical outcome and potential local and donor-site complications. While in our case the outcomes met the patient's satisfaction, it remains an isolated case and further reports are awaited to help surgeons and patients in their decision process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of clavicular reconstruction on total and subtotal claviculectomy are controversial. The aim of this study is to disclose the impact of clavicular reconstruction on the efficacy of this rare surgical procedure. METHODS This is a systematic review of multiple medical databases for level I through IV evidence. RESULTS Eleven studies (level IV) with a mean follow-up duration of 53 months (range, 12-156 months) met the inclusion criteria. There were 70 subjects (70 shoulders) including 36 male patients (51%), and the average age at operation was 30 years (range, 2-77 years). The etiology included tumors in 34 subjects (49%) and other disorders in 36 (51%). Of the patients, 41 (59%) underwent total claviculectomy whereas 29 (41%) underwent subtotal clavicular excision. Clavicular reconstruction was performed in 14 subjects (20%), with bone allograft in 8, autograft in 1, and a bone cement prosthesis in 5. Objective measurement disclosed compromised strength and mobility in aclaviculate limbs; however, no studies investigating clavicular reconstruction used similar means of measurement. Functional assessment scales implied global limb function following the 2 procedures was similar (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, P = .13; Constant score, P = .38). Claviculectomy with and without reconstruction resulted in a similar incidence of complications (P = .45); however, isolated claviculectomy was related to fewer further surgical procedures (P <.001) and faster recovery (P <.001). The 2 procedures were associated with similar satisfaction rates (P > .99). CONCLUSIONS No evidence suggested clavicular reconstruction led to clinical outcomes superior to those of isolated claviculectomy. It is noteworthy that isolated excision of the clavicle was associated with a lower risk of further surgery and faster rehabilitation.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is a childhood disease and so it is not uncommon to diagnose it in a 10 year old boy who is suffering from pains and discharging sinuses from the left shoulder girdle. What is not common is the involvement of the clavicle in this infective process and even more uncommon is for the whole length of the clavicle to sequester. This case report describes a rare case of chronic osteomyelitis of the left clavicle in which the entire length was removed as a sequestrum during surgery. And despite the removal of an entire length of the clavicle in the patient, there was no functional deficit and there was also no shoulder asymmetry. Chronic osteomyelitis is common in childhood and clavicular involvement is less common than femur, tibia or humerus. In this clavicular osteomyelitis, the entire bone was sequestered. It is not absolutely important to have huge involucrum before sequestrectomy since it is not a weight bearing bone. The whole sequestered clavicle was necessarily removed despite the thin involurcum. Regardless, the removal of the entire bone was not associated with functional deficit or shoulder asymmetry.

Abstract
Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign cartilaginous neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% of all bone tumors, and approximately 4% of all chondroblastomas arise in the clavicle. Here, we report a case of chondroblastoma in the right clavicle. 27-year-old female patient presented with a 12-month history of shoulder pain. Based on radiological and pathological examination, the diagnosis was compatible with chondroblastoma. After resection of the tumor, 1 cm of the distal clavicle was preserved, 15 cm of the non-vascularized fibula was taken from the contralateral leg and placed on the site of the clavicle and fixed with hook plate at distal clavicle and reconstruction plate attached to the sternum. 13 months of follow-up is scheduled for removal of osteosynthesis material, finding full consolidation of sternoclavicular segment and the distal segment. A good functional outcome was apparent after a limited 14-month follow-up, and the patient was highly satisfied with the result. We found no recurrence or metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) can have a congenital partial or total absence of the clavicle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional shoulder score in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with CCD who were members of a social media group were invited to take part in an Internet-based survey. The questionnaire was composed of 3 general questions, a question concerning partial or total absence of the clavicle, and 3 patient-based shoulder scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score; shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score; and patient-based Constant-Murley score). RESULTS Thirty-six patients (27 women, 9 men) with a mean age of 40 years participated in the survey; 17 patients had a bilateral absence, 16 patients had a bilateral partial absence, and 3 patients had a total absence on one side and a partial absence of the clavicle on the other side. The average patient-based Constant-Murley score was 79; shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, 11; and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, 93. There was no significant difference in the scores between left and right. There was no correlation between partial and total absences and the shoulder scores. CONCLUSION Patients with self-reported CCD are subjectively normal to their peers when they are evaluated with 3 common shoulder scores. There was no correlation between partial and total absences and the shoulder scores.

Abstract
Compression of the neurovascular bundle to the upper extremity can occur above or below the clavicle; thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is above the clavicle and pectoralis minor syndrome is below. More than 90% of cases involve the brachial plexus, 5% involve venous obstruction, and 1% are associate with arterial obstruction. The clinical presentation, including symptoms, physical examination, pathology, etiology, and treatment differences among neurogenic, venous, and arterial TOS syndromes. This review details the diagnostic testing required to differentiate among the associated conditions and recommends appropriate medical or surgical treatment for each compression syndrome. The long-term outcomes of patients with TOS and pectoralis minor syndrome also vary and depend on duration of symptoms before initiation of physical therapy and surgical intervention. Overall, it can be expected that >80% of patients with these compression syndromes can experience functional improvement of their upper extremity; higher for arterial and venous TOS than for neurogenic compression.

Abstract
Background To investigate the short and medium term outcomes of bone defect reconstruction with bone cement prosthesis after clavicle malignancies resection. Methods A total of 5 clavicular malignancy patients experienced bone cement prosthesis reconstruction after subtotal claviculectomy were enrolled the study from January 2005 to May 2012. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score (MSTS), Visual Analogue scale (VAS) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder outcome score (ASES) were adopted for assessment. Results The mean follow-up period was 25.8 months. All patients were performed bone cement defect reconstruction after claviculectomy. In which, 3 cases showed disease-free and other 2 cases were alive with sickness. The average Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 85.40% ± 5.68%(77%-90%), Visual Analogue Scale was 1.40 ± 0.55 (1–2) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Outcome Score was 92.40 ± 3.29(87–96). Conclusions Adoption of clavicle bone cement prosthesis for bone defect reconstruction after tumor resection can maintain the contour of shoulder and reduce the complications ascribe to the claviculectomy. It is an effective and feasible therapeutic procedure in clinical setting.
