Name:
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle
Synonym:
Bipartite clavicle; Clavicle pseudoarthrosis; Pseudoarthrosis of clavicle
Definition:
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.
