Abstract
The authors report 7 new cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicule. Clinical features are bearing out classical data of litterature. The disease is discovered during first months by the way of a clavicular swelling which settles mostly on the right side. But according to the authors the surgical treatment ought to be systematically purposed, restoring a normal morphology and avoiding any functional trouble. It consists in resecting the pseudarthrosis and grafting. This act is easy if done early, the ideal age being around 3 or 5.Entities:
