Sternoclavicular joint injuries

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2000
Injuries to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint are infrequently encountered. However, retrosternal SC joint dislocations are potentially life-threatening injuries which must be recognized by the examining physician and treated as soon as possible. Plain radiography often fails to fully distinguish SC joint injuries, and computed tomography has emerged as ...

Bilateral sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2000
A unique case of bilateral sternoclavicular tuberculosis is presented, with discussion of the possible mechanism of infection. Early diagnosis is mandatory for good results, and with a world-wide resurgence of this disease, a high index of suspicion is mandatory (especially in immunocompromised patients and migrant populations). Computed tomography and

Spontaneous sternoclavicular joint infections

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2002
Spontaneous sternoclavicular (SC) joint infections are uncommon. Most cases of contained SC joint infections respond well to conservative treatment measures such as intravenous antibiotics and local drainage. However, some cases are more extensive, extending beyond the boundaries of the joint capsule, occasionally involving the anterior chest wall and ...

Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1999
Posterior sternoclavicular (SC) joint dislocations are rare but can have serious complications, such as hemorrhage or tracheal rupture or compression. Described here is the case of a 21-year-old college football player who fell on his right shoulder and, on the basis of a physical exam and plain radiographs, was first diagnosed as having an apophyseal ...

The Sternoclavicular Joint

2019
The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is the only bony connection between the upper limb and the axial skeleton. It is also the joint with the least bony congruency in the body, yet it is extremely stable thanks to a strong stabilising soft-tissue envelope of ligaments, muscles and tendons.

Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocations

2018
The most common mechanism of sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation is a fall on the shoulder. Anterior dislocations compare to posterior dislocations are more common. The clinical signs in anterior SJC dislocation are usually both visible and palpable. Posterior SCJ dislocations can be complicated with vascular injury induced by the displaced medial

The sternoclavicular joint is diarthrodial and is the only true articulation between the upper extremity and the axial skeleton. The articular surface of the clavicle is much larger than the articular facet on the sternum and both surfaces are covered with fibrocartilage.

Sternoclavicular joint arthroscopy

Bone & Joint 360, 2013
Newly described1 (and ‘rounded up’) in this edition of 360 , sternoclavicular joint arthroscopy is likely to be an emerging surgical technique. The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) has not previously been a particular focus of operative interest to the orthopaedic fraternity.

Sternoclavicular joint injuries

Trauma, 2010
Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) injuries are uncommon, but delay in diagnosis and treatment can result in significant morbidity. This review outlines the relevant clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the joint, and examines the evidence supporting specific investigation and management of such injuries.

[Sternoclavicular joint disorders].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2020
In this review, function, anatomy and pathology of the sternoclavicular joint is described. Arthritis as part of a rheumatological condition is treated medically; persistent synovitis can be treated by synovectomy. Infection is most often caused by Staphylococcus and is treated by debridement and antibiotics.
