N2 - Total claviculectomy is a rare surgical procedure that has been performed for more than 90 years for a variety of indications, such as malignancy, trauma, and infection. What are the results for the pain score, and what is the influence of a total claviculectomy on the range of motion of the shoulder? We could not find the answers in the literature and analyzed 6 cases of total claviculectomy. The pain scores are good in a chronic osteitis case and in the two malignancy cases. In the 3 posttraumatic cases, the indication was pain, and all 3 had poor results because of persistent pain. All 6 patients had full range of motion. A resection of the entire clavicle did not disturb the motion of the shoulder. A tendency but no final conclusions can be drawn because of too few patients and heterogeneous indications
