Bilateral clavicular osteolysis is associated with cleidocranial dysplasia, rheumatoid arthritis and hyperparathyroidism. It is the most common location for post-traumatic osteolysis that is preceded by a fairly severe injury to the shoulder, typically a dislocation or subluxation of the acromioclavicular joint. Changes may be evident after 1 month. Widespread idiopathic osteolysis is termed Gorham’s or vanishing bone disease.
