  • Abstract
    Tumors involving the clavicle by primary or metastatic growth may require clavicular resection often with rib resection. The resulting cosmetic and functional impairment of clavicular resection may be significant with a sloped appearing shoulder girdle and chronically impaired movement of the upper extremity. We report a 48-year-old woman presenting with a bulky metastatic renal cell mass of her left clavicle extending to the chest wall. We report en-bloc clavilculectomy and chest wall resection with a novel method of reconstruction using a single methyl methacrylate and prolene composite prosthesis in a configuration resembling the state of Oklahoma.
