clavicle repair or replacement
I have a tumour on my clavicle very close to the end where the clavicle connects to the chest. My doctor sent me for a bone scan, CAT scan, X-Ray and PET scan. Based on the results of the PET scan she said it was cancer. She wants to remove my whole clavicle and when I asked if there was a way to cut off just the part with the tumour and somehow repair the rest of it she said no.
I've looked online and have seen many treatments for broken clavicles and was wondering if any of these methods could be used in my case. Is there any way to simply cut off the tumour and keep the rest of my clavicle with some type of repair?
