title: Sclerotic changes of the sternal end of the clavicle.
abstract: Five adult females with swelling, tenderness and similar sclerotic changes of the sternal end of the clavicle are presented. They were recognised during a 10-year period, suggesting that the condition is rare and may be misdiagnosed. In three patients strain of the sternoclavicular joint seemed to be an aetiological factor.
