Resektio pars laterals calavikulae?

Resectio pars lateralis claviculae refers to the surgical procedure involving the resection (removal) of the lateral portion of the clavicle (collarbone). This procedure is typically performed to address various conditions affecting the lateral clavicle, such as:

1. **Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Pathologies**: This can include conditions such as AC joint arthritis, separation, or other degenerative changes that lead to pain and functional impairment.

2. **Fractures**: Recurrent or non-union fractures of the lateral clavicle may necessitate surgical intervention.

3. **Tumors or Cysts**: In some cases, the presence of tumors or lesions in the lateral clavicle may warrant resection.

4. **Infection**: Infections affecting the area may also lead to the need for surgical removal of part of the clavicle.

The procedure aims to relieve pain, improve function, and restore anatomy as much as possible. It can be performed using various surgical techniques, depending on the underlying condition and the extent of the required resection. Postoperative rehabilitation is usually necessary to help restore range of motion and strength in the shoulder girdle after the procedure.
