Case:
We describe a case of a traumatic superior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) due to an isolated rupture of the costoclavicular ligament (CCL). A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated the CCL rupture with preservation of the anterior and posterior SCJ ligaments. This was successfully treated with an isolated hamstring tendon reconstruction of the CCL, resulting in a satisfactory outcome at 1 year after the procedure.
Conclusion:
Isolated CCL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon in a patient with a superior SCJ dislocation provided a satisfactory outcome.
Case:
We report the case of an active 8-year-old patient with a 2-year history of groin and thigh pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hip demonstrated a paralabral cyst arising from a superior labral tear. Arthroscopic labral repair and decompression of the cyst were performed, and the patient remains asymptomatic at 2-year follow-up.
Conclusions:
Acetabular labral tears with concomitant paralabral cysts have been described in the literature in the adult population and successfully treated arthroscopically. We propose that surgeons should be aware of this as a cause for undiagnosed groin and thigh pain in the pediatric population and that arthroscopic management is successful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
