A doctor has provided 1 answer

Osteoarthritis would be a slow process of wear-and-tear and bony enlargement of the sternoclavicular joint. Sudden enlargement would be due to dislocation, infection, inflammation, or tumor (rare). Inflammatory arthritis would be infectious arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or others.
