Abstract:
Three patients are reported with Friedrich's disease, a rare deformity of the sternoclavicular joint. This clinical entity is a symptomatic expression of osteonecrotic changes of the medial inferior border of the clavicle, with a still unknown pathogenesis. In our own experience and according to that of others, conservative treatment for this rare condition may be advisable.
