“…One excision of CPC and the case of insertion of a vascularized fibula graft were revision procedures for failed primary CPC operations performed in the referring hospitals and are included in the former number. The potentially most serious complications were two injuries to the brachial plexus (1x Steinmann pin [22], 1x Rush pin [23]), with one alleged full recovery over 6 months and one patient being left with mild weakness of opponens pollicis at 10 months follow-up. Twenty-seven patients presented with a nonunion (7x allograft) and nine with a delayed union.…”

The aim of this study was to identify the hitherto unknown incidence of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC), based on a cohort of continuous livebirths born in our hospital, to review the literature and investigate if there is evidence supporting the published association between left-sided CPC and dextrocardia. From our electronic medical record and radiology databases, we identified all live births and patients with the diagnosis of CPC born from 2000 to 2016. We reviewed the imaging which included one or both clavicles to search for unrecorded CPC cases and reviewed all retrievable CPC publications listed in PubMed and publications quoted within these publications going back to 1910. We identified 87 407 livebirths of which 41 800 had radiological studies done, 14 885 showing one or both clavicles. We found five cases of CPC, two from the electronic database and three from our imaging review, giving an incidence of 1 of 17 481 livebirths. We identified 138 publications reporting paediatric and adult CPC cases and 12 review articles, including 429 patients (187 female; 159 male; 83 unknown) with 456 CPCs and a minimum of 24 additional patients from case reports for which we could not retrieve details. Two publications reported one case of left-sided CPC with dextrocardia, either not showing left/right marking or only showing the CPC with the aortic knob on the same side. We report the first CPC incidence of 0.0057%, provide the by far most inclusive CPC epidemiology based on 429 patients and could not find reliable proof that there has ever been a patient with left-sided CPC which was associated with dextrocardia.
