title: Post-traumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle.
abstract: We report a case of post-traumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle of a 25-year-old man. The diagnosis was missed for several months, and the patient continued to have pain in his right shoulder. The pain continued in spite of intensive physiotherapy. When he was seen for the first time in our clinic 6 months after the accident, the radiographs showed an osteolysis of the distal clavicle.
