@entity4034 of the clavicle is a rare condition that is difficult to diagnose. We have reviewed five cases of @entity697 of the clavicle that have been collected over a 3-year period in our center. All @entity1 had @entity158 , @entity221 , and swelling over the clavicle. All had a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate with positive @entity794 blood cultures at presentation. Three of our five @entity1 required surgical drainage. Two of these @entity1 had pathologic @entity174 of the clavicle while receiving treatment and then went on to develop complete resorption of the medial clavicle. Isolated reports of @entity697 of the clavicle in @entity1 occur in the literature. This behaves very differently from @entity6275 and @entity378 of the clavicle, which are more commonly reported. Our impression is that early treatment with high-dose intravenous antistaphylococcal antibiotics helps avoid the complication of pathologic @entity174 . The functional result after resorption of the medial clavicle is very good in the short term.
