Distal Clavicular Osteolysis

Distal clavicular osteolysis (DCO) is an overuse injury most often seen in athletes and weight lifters that causes pain in the AC joint. This is an atypical injury with multiple effective treatment modalities. Distal clavicular osteolysis results from repetitive excess load to the AC joint, typically through horizontal adduction, adduction, internal rotation, and forward/lateral flexion of the shoulder, such as bench pressing or overhead lifting. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of distal clavicular osteolysis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
