Spontaneous union is unknown, and consequently any desired union requires open reduction and bone grafting. Many authors recommend performing the operation at the age of 3\u20135 years and using different fixation methods. We present our experience with three cases and literature review in an attempt to further elucidate the appropriate timing of the procedure and the fixation method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This was a retrospective review of three cases presenting with pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle. All cases were treated by curettage of the pseudoarthrosis, with the void filled using full-thickness ileac crest autologous bone graft and bridging plate\u2014one compression and two anatomical,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">at<\/jats:italic>\n                      different ages.

One patient (5-year-old female treated using a compression plate) experienced overlying skin irritation and underwent removal of the plate. There were no restriction of movement, pain or any other complaint on the final follow-up. We did not find any difference in the operating complexity at different ages, but when a compression plate was used, it had to be removed later due to bulging of the plate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No clinical difference was observed between earlier and late operation.
