Posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation in a young male: a case report
Abstract
The traumatic dislocation of the posterior sternoclavicular joint is a serious injury with possibly severe complications and therefore has to be managed with the greatest caution. We report the case of a young male with a posterior dislocation of the medial clavicle with compression of the brachiocephalic artery as well as the esophagus. Open reduction and placement of a wire cerclage were performed with a good postoperative outcome.
