Surgical Treatment of Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation Using a T-plate
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 22-year-old man was hospitalized with a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation caused by a traffic accident. Surgical reduction and fixation of the SCJ were performed using a T-plate. SCJ dislocation is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all dislocations, and is usually treated conservatively, although severe cases may require surgery. Surgery typically involves joint reduction and fixation using an autologous tendon graft, but this has disadvantages such as the requirement for additional surgery to obtain autologous tissue and an extended operative time. To overcome these issues, here, we performed a simple SCJ reduction and fixation using a T-plate and achieved good results.

Locking plate for treating traumatic sternoclavicular joint dislocation: a case series
BACKGROUND Traumatic sternoclavicular joint dislocations are rare; closed reduction is the primary treatment. The failure of closed reduction or a prominent insult to the skin may require surgery to ensure the best possible outcome. METHODS The records of 5 patients operated at our institution for sternoclavicular joint dislocation were reviewed. All patients were treated with open reduction ...

Sternoclavicular dislocations account for less than 5% of all dislocations of the scapular belt. Most cases of anterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint do not present symptoms. However, some patients may develop chronic anterior instability and remain symptomatic, and surgical treatment is indicated in these cases. There is a scarcity of reports in the literature relating to reconstru...

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 rel...
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...
متن کاملSternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction in the Setting of Medial Comminuted Clavicle Fracture
A dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a particularly threatening injury given the close proximity of neighboring vital structures. Moreover, a traumatic injury resulting in a comminuted fracture of the medial clavicle in addition to joint instability results in even greater complexity. In the setting of sternoclavicular joint instability, definitive treatment that will lead to complete...
