Abstract
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 resolution of symptoms is necessary. Various treatment methods, both conservative and operative, with positive treatment outcomes have been described. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique to treat a medial comminuted clavicle fracture with anterior sternoclavicular joint instability.
