[Clavicular pseudarthroses in childhood].
Pseudarthrosis of the clavicula in childhood is rare. Beside the congenital forms, especially dysplasia of the skeleton, the cause of acquired pseudarthrosis is often the complete or partial lack of immobilization and poorly performed or not indicated osteosynthesis. Basically firm osteosynthesis with small DC-plates is the therapy indicated, but because of atrophic or short fragments, great defects, or if the relevant parts of the skeleton are too short, a compromise is often necessary, especially for the sake of strength. The autologeous spongiosaplastic, corticospongio bone parts, which strengthen the osteosynthesis procedure, if involved, are basic to undisturbed healing.
