A member asked:
Is it normal to have one side of sternal end of clavicle to be slightly out than the other and grinding. acromioclavicular decompression on nov 2015.

Common: Some asymmetry is fairly common--sometimes as a result of a little wear and tear/arthritis, sometimes from an injury or "just the way you're built". Grinding is unusual, but does suggest an arthritic component. Unlikely to be serious, or anything that needs surgery, but I'd suggest you see an Orthopedist to be fully evaluated
