A case of Friedrich's disease of the clavicle.
Friedrich's disease is an aseptic osteonecrosis of the medial end of the clavicle. It is a rare condition that can be confused with osteomyelitis, arthritis, or tumor. Because it often resolves spontaneously, a correct diagnosis will save the patient from unnecessary treatment.
