TLDR
The embryological study does not support the theory that the clavicle normally develops from two ossification centres that may fail to coalesce, and it seems certain that in some instances congenital pseudarthrosis of theClavicle can be transmitted genetically.Abstract:
1. Thirteen cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle conforming to the classical picture are presented, together with five cases of pseudarthrosis occurring for various other reasons, and nine cases of congenital pseudarthrosis that form a special group because there was a strong family history. 2. Treatment, if desired by the patient, is easy, but should be deferred until the age of four or five years. 3. The etiology remains obscure. Our embryological study does not support the theory that the clavicle normally develops from two ossification centres that may fail to coalesce. Although in thirteen of our patients there was no family history of pseudarthrosis, there was another group of nine patients who presented a strong family history, and it seems certain that in some instances congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle can be transmitted genetically.read more

Radiology of postnatal skeletal development. II. The manubrium and sternum.
TL;DR: Thirty-six manubriosternal composites from skeletally immature cadavers were examined morphologically and radiographically, finding the usual pattern was ossification of four sternebrae, although a fifth was intermittently present.

Age Changes in the Clavicle: from the Early Neonatal Period to Skeletal Maturity
Sue Black,Louise Scheuer +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to chart developmental age-related change in the clavicle across its full growth range using juvenile and young adult material of documented age at death.

The early development and ossification of the human clavicle-an embryologic study
Satoshi Ogata,Hans K. Uhthoff +1 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the clavicle is formed by two membranous primary ossification centers appearing by 6 weeks and fusing approximately 1 week later, which contributes more to the growth in length of theClavicle than the lateral cartilaginous mass.

Reflections upon the aetiology of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle. With a note on cranio-cleido dysostosis.
TL;DR: The cause of pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is obscure as mentioned in this paper, but the lesion is sometimes due to pressure upon the developing clavicles by the subclavian artery which is normally at a higher level on the right side.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle.

TL;DR: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicles is an uncommon anomaly found mostly in girls and in the mid-right clavicle that is poorly referred to in the pediatric literature.
