Abstract
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 the diagnostic modality of choice for defining the injury complex and surrounding injuries. We have encountered 6 cases of SC joint injuries over the past 3 years and describe their presentation and management.
