Abstract:
Osteolysis of the distal clavicle is a rare disease and its etiology and pathogenesis are poorly understood. We report two cases of the osteolysis that were resulted from acute blunt shoulder trauma and chronic repetitive one. After diagnosis, the two patients did not have shown the response to conservative management, so we performed distal clavicle resection on them and the results were satisfactory. Through these cases, we discuss the pathogenic mechanism, differential diagnosis and treatment options for the osteolysis of the distal clavicle.
