  • Title: Atraumatic osteolysis of the distal clavicle: histologic evidence of synovial pathogenesis. A case report.
    Author: Brunet ME, Reynolds MC, Cook SD, Brown TW.
    Journal: Orthopedics; 1986 Apr; 9(4):557-9. PubMed ID: 3960790.
    Abstract:
    Osteolysis of the distal clavicle was diagnosed in a young male athlete following many years as a baseball pitcher with a supplementary weightlifting program. There was no history of ligamentous injuries, contusions, fractures or separation of the acromioclavicular joint. As such, this case was categorized as "atraumatic" osteolysis. Non-decalcified histologic sections from the resected clavicle suggest that the pathogenesis of this atraumatic osteolysis arose from the synovium.
