    Author: Buchon R, Naudinat E, Schoenenberger P, Hélie O, Flageat J.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1992; 73(8-9):437-41. PubMed ID: 1474519.
    Abstract:
    Post-traumatic osteolysis of the acromial extremity of the clavicle is a rare condition, usually occurring sometime after an injury to the shoulder. Three cases of PTOAC and one case of athlete's osteolysis are reported. The semiology is summed up, as well as the differential diagnoses and the associated forms. This is a benign disease, which should be suggested by the clinical findings and diagnosed on the radiographs, which demonstrate early signs of osteolysis. The treatment is mainly based on immobilization.
