- Abstract
This article discusses a case of a stress fracture in the clavicle associated with sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) in a patient. SCCH is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the sternocostoclavicular region. The patient experienced pain, swelling, and redness in the clavicle, and conservative treatment with a clavicle band and corticosteroids resulted in symptom improvement. However, bone fusion was not complete after eight months, highlighting the need for careful follow-up. This case highlights the rare occurrence of marked ossification of the lateral part of the clavicle in SCCH patients.
