Introduction: The accepted indication for surgical removal of osteochondroma is when a lesion becomes symptomatic. There have been no established standard surgical approaches to remove osteochondroma on the first rib and no report on management after that. This report aims to present a novel approach by double clavicle osteotomy followed with internal fixation.
Case Presentation: A 17-year-old female presented with a gradually enlarged bony mass with tenderness at the supraclavicular area. Radiographic images revealed a bony mass attached to the first rib. The provisional diagnosis is osteochondroma. The tumor was approached by osteotomy at the proximal and distal shaft of the clavicle. After removing the entire tumor, the direct reduction and internal fixation of the clavicle were performed.
Discussion: Both, size of the mass and mobilization of the clavicle are factors in determining the surgical approach. Clavicular osteotomy, especially two sites, is considered when the lesion is extremely large. A possible complication after the clavicular osteotomy is nonunion or malunion. A proper technique of reduction and method of fixation contributes to reducing complications.
Conclusion: The double clavicle osteotomy is an effective route for removing a large tumor at the first rib. Plate fixation following clavicular osteotomy contributes to bone union and excellent functional outcomes postoperatively.

Background: The placement of clavicle tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is well established, but the optimal position of the coracoid tunnel remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how the coracoid tunnel's position affects horizontal stability during coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using a double-button technique.
Methods: Fifteen fresh frozen shoulder cadaver specimens were tested under various conditions: intact coracoclavicular ligaments, disrupted ligaments, and reconstructions with a single coracoid and clavicle tunnel or double clavicle tunnels.

High-grade the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations can be treated surgically. Endoscopic techniques to stabilize the ACJ using an EndoButton suture technique for coracoclavicular (CC) fixation have been shown to be safe and reproducible. Several studies have demonstrated the benefit of stabilizing the ACJ to reduce postoperative horizontal instability.

Background: Clavicle fractures are among the most frequent injuries of the shoulder girdle. Nondisplaced fractures are generally treated conservatively, whereas dislocated fractures require surgical reduction and stabilization. A variety of implants and surgical techniques with reliable results are available.
