Lussazione dell’articolazione sternoclavicolare
Abstract
DISLOCATION OF STERNOCLAVICULAR ARTICULATION
Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rarely injury. Dislocations can be anterior or posterior. Anterior
dislocation is a usually relatively benign injury, while posterior dislocations may be very serious. In addition to the
standard projections, there are also special views for joint evaluation. Computed tomography remains the gold
standard. In anterior dislocations, and degree I and II posterior instability, the treatment is conservative, while in case
of degree III dislocations, the treatment consists in closed reduction. Operative stabilisation must be considered if
closed reduction is unsuccessful.
