Abstract
Repetitive stress-induced osteolysis of the distal clavicle occurs in athletes who engage in upper extremity weight strengthening exercises and occupational overuse. Repetitive microtrauma is believed to cause microfractures and bone resorption with local pain. Conservative treatment usually is effective. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful. excellent outcomes can be expected after open or arthroscopic resection of the distal clavicle.
