Segmental Bone Loss of the Clavicle due to Fracture-Related Infection: A Multidisciplinary Challenge
Abstract
As the surgical treatment of clavicular fractures is increasingly utilized in orthopedics, the number of related complications rises as well. We present a case of segmental bone loss of the clavicle due to fracture-related infection. Treatment was based on a multidisciplinary team approach, which was important for a successful outcome.
