Abstract

|
|
A traumatic dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare injury, and among them, anterior dislocation is more common than a posterior dislocation. Posterior dislocation is a potential risk by compressing the mediastinal structures, but an anterior dislocation has not been considered a risk. Traumatic sternoclavicular joint anterior dislocation associated with anterior angulation of a sternal fracture can develop mediastinal compression and have a risk in the same way as a posterior dislocation. This case report is about a traumatic sternoclavicular joint anterior dislocation with a sternal fracture accompanied by mediastinal compression that was treated surgically using a plate and showed relatively good clinical results. This rare case is reported along with a review of the relevant literature.
