What Causes A Swollen Clavicle?

My son has a swollen clavical and has discolouration that looks like a bruise up onto his neck. we have had ultrasound and xray and came back clear but the swelling is getting bigger and he now has pain on the lump of bone at the end of his collarbone. It came up one week ago but is not going away or getting less

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It is possible that it may be a dislocation of Acromioclavicular joint.

Get fresh x-ray of the shoulder- stress views to see for any dislocation. Better still -consult an orthopedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
