Osteolysis  of distal clavicle (ODC) may occur in patients who experience repeated  stress or microtrauma to the shoulder. This entity has clinical and  radiological findings similar to post-traumatic ODC. We describe a case  of successful treatment of stress-induced ODC with CT-guided injection  of corticosteroid and anesthetic drug into the acromioclavicular joint.
