title: Posttraumatic osteolysis of the clavicle.
abstract: Posttraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle should be considered when continued pain follows trauma. The osteolysis and accompanying symptoms can be partially alleviated by immobilization of the shoulder joint. The pathology is poorly understood, but synovial hyperplasia appears to play an integral part in the resorptive process.
