  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Friedrich's disease is a rare condition affecting the sternoclavicular joint.
  • It is characterized by osteonecrotic changes in the medial inferior border of the clavicle.
  • The pathogenesis of this condition remains largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on three cases of Friedrich's disease.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation and potential treatment options for this rare joint deformity.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting on three patients diagnosed with Friedrich's disease.
  • Review of existing literature and clinical experience with the condition.
