Resumen
ARGUELLES, Santiago; RODRIGUEZ, Martín y PEREIRA, Enrique. Claviculectomía total como procedimiento de rescate: Reporte de un caso y revisión bibliográfica. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.83, n.2, pp.124-130. ISSN 1852-7434.
Clavicle non-union is an uncommon cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. A case of brachial plexopathy by previously infected clavicle pseudarthrosis is described. Total claviculectomy was performed for symptom relief. From literature analysis we conclude that total claviculectomy is an option to be taken into account when therapeutic options have exhausted. Functional results could be adequate when total claviculectomy is indicated in cases of infection, plexopathy or sarcoma.
