Congenital pseudoarthrosis of clavicle is a rare clinical entity. It usually presents as a swelling in the clavicular region at birth or soon after birth. Fitzwilliam's original description of 60 subtypes of congenital pseudoarthrosis of clavicle have addressed several anatomical variants, e.g. association with cervical rib and abnormally vertical and elevated upper ribs. However, congenital pseudoarthrosis of clavicle associated with bifurcation is an atypical anatomic variant. To the best of our knowledge, this variant has never been mentioned in the literature. In the present report, we have described this subtype of symptomatic congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle with bifurcation and its possible management.

Aim: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare, dysplastic condition causing significant disability in the lower limbs. A treatment aims to achieve long-lasting union, prevent limb length discrepancies, and prevent soft tissue lesions. Traditional surgery often yields satisfactory results, but amputation may be proposed in failed cases.

Congenital Pseudoarthrosis of the Femur Managed with Masquelet Technique.
J Orthop Case Rep

Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan - 342005, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Congenital pseudoarthrosis is a rare bone disorder primarily affecting the radius, ulna, tibia, and fibula, with a few cases reported in association with conditions like neurofibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia, while acquired cases often follow fractures or infections like tuberculosis.
- - A 3-year-old girl presented with pain and swelling in her right thigh, where an MRI indicated chronic osteomyelitis with non-united fracture, leading to abnormal mobility and cortical resorption.
- - The treatment involved surgical resection of the pseudoarthrosis followed by a two-stage masquelet procedure, which included bone grafting and plate fixation to support healing.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a gentamicin-coated tibial nail (PROtect™) in patients needing tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis due to tibial defects.
- It involved a review of seven male patients treated between January 2018 and December 2023, focusing on fracture healing, complications, and quality of life outcomes.
- Results showed that most patients achieved fracture union, though a few experienced complications; overall, PROtect™ was deemed a promising option for enhancing bone healing and reducing infection risks in complex cases.
