Clinical Vignette: A physically active 30-year-old male presents to the sports medicine clinic for anterior shoulder pain that is worse during and after performing push-ups. A positive Scarf test is noted.
Image Interpretation: The left acromioclavicular joint is visualized with the clavicle on the left and the acromion on the right. There is noted increased distance between the acromion and the clavicle. The cortex of the distal clavicle is degraded while the acromion remains intact.
Teaching Pearl: Distal clavicular osteolysis is an atypical overuse injury occurring most commonly in male athletes, weightlifters, or those performing repetitive overhead activities. The Scarf test can help rule in the pathology while a detailed cervical and neurologic exam can rule out alternative diagnoses. Treatment consists of conservative management with activity modification, NSAIDs, physical therapy followed by corticosteroid injections and surgical resection for refractory cases.
