'Cable-maker's clavicle': stress fracture of the medial clavicle.

Source

Department of Clinical Radiology, Southampton General Hospital, UK.

Abstract

A 50-year-old man presented with a non-traumatic painful swelling over the medial clavicle. Radiographs showed a poorly defined fracture and the possibility of an underlying pathology was raised. Computed tomography suggested a stress fracture. This prompted a further, more detailed occupational history to be obtained from the patient, which revealed a hitherto undescribed cause of clavicular stress fracture and obviated the need for further imaging or biopsy.
