  • Title: Surgical treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome secondary to clavicular malunion.
    Author: Yoo MJ, Seo JB, Kim JP, Lee JH.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Surg; 2009 Mar; 1(1):54-7. PubMed ID: 19884998.
    Abstract:
    According to the literature, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) secondary to the malunion of displaced fractures of the clavicle is rare. Various surgical methods, including simple neurolysis, resection of the first rib or clavicle and corrective osteotomy, have been reported. We report a case of TOS secondary to malunion of the clavicle that was treated by an anterior and middle scalenectomy without a rib resection.
