Case Reports
[Scheuthauer-Marie-Sainton syndrome. Differential diagnosis and treatment of clavicular deformity].
The genesis and clinical characteristics of Scheuthauer-Marie-Sainton's syndrome (dysostosis cleido-cranialis), of congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicula of post-traumatic clavicular pseudoarthrosis in childhood determine the differential diagnostic considerations of pseudoarthrosis in children in cases which are initially not clear. The therapy is, however, independent of the cause of the disease: Resection of the pseudoarthrotic bone, filling of the defect via a cortico-spongious block and stabilisation via plate osteosynthesis.
