Posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint: report of two cases☆
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors report the cases of two young patients who had suffered a sporting accident with posterior traumatic dislocation of sternoclavicular joint. In one of the patients closed reduction was accomplished by keeping the limb in a sling. The second patient, after reduction was done, presented recurrence of the dislocation, thus requiring surgical treatment. It is important to observe the relevance of computed tomography to help diagnosing, as well as monitoring the reduction procedure. The objective of this study was to demonstrate two different types of treatment in a rare injury such as the posterior dislocation of sternoclavicular joint.

Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is an uncommon injury. The anterior displacement is well recognized but posterior displacement is much more unusual, one per 1600 cases of shoulder trauma (Rowe & Marble, 1958). Early diagnosis is important as this affects ease of reduction and awareness ofpossible damage to the great vessels in the mediastinum. We report two cases where the diagnosis w...

متن کاملFigure-of-8 Reconstruction Technique for Chronic Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation
Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare injury and typically requires high-energy forces applied through the joint. Initial treatment is dependent on the direction of dislocation, with acute reduction indicated for posterior dislocations presenting with signs of tracheal, esophageal, or neurovascular compression. Although most patients do well with conservative treatment after the i...
