Sclerotic changes of the sternal end of the clavicle.
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.
