Monarticular, non-infective subacute arthritis of the sterno-clavlcular joint.

چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to describe a monarticular, non-infective subacute arthritis of the sterno-clavicular joint which occurs in middle-aged women. The clinical features are so typical and the course is so predictable that this condition can be considered a specific entity. This report is based on twelve patients. Seven were studied by the author throughout their illness; the other five were found by a search of past records and had been diagnosed in various ways at the time of operation, but the clinical and radiographic records, with a re-examination of the pathological material removed at operation, leave no doubt that these patients were suffering from the same condition. It has been possible to follow up the five earlier patients; the average time since their operation was ten years and the longest twenty years.
