Sternoclavicular joint reconstruction technique

چکیده
While most sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations can be managed non-operatively with closed reduction, persistent or recurrent instability associated with pain or inability to work necessitates operative management [1]. Non-operative management has further been shown to result in symptomatic degenerative changes in the SCJ [2]. Reconstruction is generally indicated in the setting of symptomatic chronic anterior instability as well as recurrent posterior instability.

Figure-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 کاملSafe surgical technique: reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint for posttraumatic arthritis after posterior sternoclavicular dislocation
Posttraumatic sternoclavicular arthritis related to chronic ligamentous instability after posterior sternoclavicular dislocation represents a rare but challenging problem. The current article in the Journal's "Safe Surgical Technique" series describes a successful salvage procedure by partial resection of the medial clavicle and ligamentous reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint with a fi...
متن کاملSternoclavicular dislocation: case report and surgical technique☆
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...
متن کاملSternoclavicular joint reconstruction--a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare injury that has a low incidence of signifcant long-term symptoms. Surgical reconstruction of the joint is indicated in patients with symptomatic, chronic anterior instability or with irreducible or recurrent posterior instability. There have been many reported techniques for stabilization of the joint, but few investigators have rep...
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...
