“…[4–6] As 95% are unilateral, bilateral SCJ dislocation (nontraumatic or traumatic) is more rare. [7,9,12,13] In general, it requires a powerful force of vector to cause sternoclavicular dislocation, such as falls from height, and motor vehicle accidents. Asymmetrical SCJ dislocations consist of posterior SCJ dislocation on one side and anterior SCJ dislocation on the other side.…”

Rationale: Asymmetrical bilateral sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation consists of posterior SCJ dislocation on one side and anterior SCJ dislocation on the other side. This is an extremely rare injury and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. If not been diagnosed timely and accurately, asymmetrical bilateral SCJ dislocation can be life-threatening. Patients concerns: We experienced a patient who has a life-threatening posterior dislocation of right SCJ and anterior dislocation on the left SCJ combined with bilateral clavicular fracture after a traffic accident. Diagnoses: A computed tomography (CT) scan with three-dimensional reconstructions of SCJ showed potentially life-threatening posterior dislocation of right SCJ and anterior dislocation on the left SCJ combined with bilateral clavicular fracture. Interventions: Because of failed attempts at closed reduction, electively surgical intervention was made. We repaired the ruptured joint capsule and ligaments and fixed bilateral SCJ by Kirschner wire during the operation. Outcomes: Three-dimensional CT scans confirmed bilateral SCJ reduction and alignment after operation 1 week as well as at the 2-month follow-up. Lessons: SCJ dislocation is an extremely rare and life-threatening injury. The aim of the operation is to repair the ruptured joint capsule and its ligaments and to fix the dislocated joints.

Bilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation due to sternal fracture: Is it a dislocation or a separation?

Traumatic bilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation is very rare injury. In shoulder girdle injuries, anterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint accounts for 3 % and posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation is lesser. Previous reported cases about bilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation were result from proximal clavicle fracture with intact connection between sternum and ribs. But, the sternoclavicular joint dislocation secondary to fracture and angulation of the sternum with intact relationship between ribs and clavicle has not been reported. Authors experienced patient who has a bilateral anterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation caused by sternum fracture and anterior angulation, but intact relationship between ribs and clavicle. We report this case with satisfactory result.
