Abstract
An elongated erosion on the undersurface of the distal clavicle, adjacent to the coracoid process, was seen in the shoulder of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. This finding was apparently related to inflammatory changes in the coracoclavicular ligament. Such an erosion may occur with or without additional radiographic alterations and, although not entirely specific, suggests rheumatoid arthritis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
