The unilateral wavy clavicle.
14 patients are recorded in whom one clavicle has a wavy shape not related to trauma or to a known congenital anomaly. Since the affected clavicle is more often the right, it is suggested that this alteration may be related to the effect of subclavian artery pulsations, such as cause congenial pseudarthrosis of the clavicle.
