Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle

Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare benign condition, characterized by a painless mass or swelling over the clavicle.

Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle

The two portions of the clavicle (corresponding to the two primary ossification centers of the clavicle) are connected by a fibrous bridge that is contiguous with the periosteum, and a synovial membrane develops, resulting in a clavicle with a bipartite appearance radiographically. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle generally presents as a painless mass or swelling over the clavicle.
