| description | A 22-year-old man was hospitalized with a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation caused by a traffic accident.
Surgical reduction and fixation of the SCJ were performed using a T-plate. SCJ dislocation is rare, accounting for
less than 1% of all dislocations, and is usually treated conservatively, although severe cases may require surgery.
Surgery typically involves joint reduction and fixation using an autologous tendon graft, but this has disadvantages
such as the requirement for additional surgery to obtain autologous tissue and an extended operative time. To
overcome these issues, here, we performed a simple SCJ reduction and fixation using a T-plate and achieved
good results. |
