title: Treatment of posttraumatic clavicular pseudarthrosis.
abstract: Six patients with posttraumatic pseudarthrosis of the clavicle were treated during 1973 and 1974 with an operative technique consisting of trimming of the bone ends, placement of a cortical bone transplant posteriorly and metal plate anteriorly, and fixation of the plates with screws. At examination 10-23 months postoperatively complete healing had been achieved in all cases.
