The unique location of the clavicle makes it crucial to diagnose and effectively manage these non-traumatic clavicular lesions promptly. Localized pain and swelling are common symptoms experienced by patients with clavicular osteomyelitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 9-year-old boy presented with swelling and pain in the left clavicular area for 6 months. There was no fever or history of trauma. Physical examination revealed a tender, 2 cm by 3 cm swelling over the left clavicular area, with no abnormal findings in other body systems. This case was treated with surgical debridement and PO cloxacillin, and his condition improved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To achieve an accurate diagnosis, a thorough analysis of the patient's clinical presentation, along with blood workups, radiologic studies, bacteriological studies, and histopathological studies, is essential. Treatment options for clavicular osteomyelitis may involve surgery, medical intervention, or a combination of both. Existing literature suggests that the cure rate does not significantly differ between patients who receive medical treatment and those who undergo surgery for clavicular osteomyelitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In evaluating non-traumatic clavicular lesions, considering chronic osteomyelitis as a potential diagnosis is important. The final diagnosis is determined through analysis of the clinical presentation, laboratory and radiographic tests, and confirmation with assistance from local culture and biopsy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T18:05:51Z","timestamp":1713722751000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chronic osteomyelitis of the clavicle in a pediatric patient: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Abebaw Muhabaw","family":"Zegeye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birlew T.","family":"Alemayehu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ephrem Bekele","family":"Kebede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sileshi Serebe","family":"Zeleke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel Addisu","family":"Abera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yohannis Derbew","family":"Molla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"R1-4-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1302\/2058-5241.1.000017","article-title":"Chronic osteomyelitis: what the surgeon needs to know","volume":"1","author":"Panteli,","year":"2016","journal-title":"EFORT Open Rev."},{"issue":"2","key":"R2-4-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.31486\/toj.18.0138","article-title":"Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children","volume":"19","author":"Thakolkaran,","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ochsner J."},{"issue":"5","key":"R3-4-20260325","first-page":"584-95","article-title":"Haematogenous acute and subacute paediatric osteomyelitis","volume":"94 B","author":"Dartnell,","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
