“…An anteriorly directed force to the sternomedial part of the clavicle can also give rise to a posterior (or retrosternal) dislocation, but this is not often the case (Buckley and Hayden 2008 ). Contact sports as American football (Brys and Geusens 2007 ), rugby (Brys and Geusens 2007 ;Laffosse et al 2010 ;Blakeley et al 2011 ), judo and wrestling (Laffosse et al 2010 ) and high-speed sports as motorcycling (Brys and Geusens 2007 ), skiing and equitation (Laffosse et al 2010 ) are most often the cause of sports-related posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation (Brys and Geusens 2007 ).…”

“…The costoclavicular ligament stabilises the joint by connecting the fi rst rib to the rhomboid fossa of the clavicle (located posteriorly). Because of these structures, a dislocation of the SC joint is very rare: just 2-3 % of dislocations in the shoulder girdle are located at the sternoclavicular joint (Brys and Geusens 2007 ;Restrepo et al 2009 ).…”

“…A forceful lateroposterior blow to the shoulder forces the lateral clavicle anteriorly, imposing a backward force at the sternoclavicular joint eventually leading to posterior dislocation of the sternal part of the clavicle (Buckley and Hayden 2008 ;Brys and Geusens 2007 ). An anteriorly directed force to the sternomedial part of the clavicle can also give rise to a posterior (or retrosternal) dislocation, but this is not often the case (Buckley and Hayden 2008 ).…”

“…In cases where rapid evaluation is necessary or when it involves an older adult, CT is the best imaging modality (Brys and Geusens 2007 ;Groh and Wirth 2011 ). Especially when CT angiography is performed, injury of the great vessels can be made visible next to the imaging of the SC joint.…”

“…The SC joint is remarkably stable because of the tight capsular and ligamentous structures (Brys and Geusens 2007 ;Wirth and Rockwood 1996 ): three ligaments connect the sternum and clavicle directly to each other (interclavicular ligament, anterior SC ligament, posterior SC ligament). The costoclavicular ligament stabilises the joint by connecting the fi rst rib to the rhomboid fossa of the clavicle (located posteriorly).…”

Chest pain is seldom a complaint of athletes. However sports injuries to the chest can be painful and life-threatening. Therefore it is important to choose the most reliable imaging modality to support the clinical diagnosis in the athlete with chest pain. In this chapter the role of radiology in various sports-related chest injuries is described, from the rarely described (but commonly diagnosed) costochondritis and sternal fractures to the more common rib fractures. The chest injury itself will be addressed fi rst and then followed by the appropriate imaging modality and radiologic fi ndings and characteristics. Traumatic as well as overuse injuries to the chest will be discussed. Emphasis will also be placed on ruling out any life-threatening complications by selecting the right imaging modality.

We report a case of stress injury of the acromion related to golf practicing in a 40-year-old male. Fractures of the scapula are unusual, with stress injury of the acromion being even rarer. The probable mechanism would be a strong contraction of posterior fibers of the deltoid during golf swing. There are few published reports of similar injuries, and to our knowledge, this is the first to demonstrate its features by magnetic resonance imaging. A review of the literature is also presented.

Osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint is a common condition causing anterior or superior shoulder pain, especially with overhead and cross-body activities. This most commonly occurs in middle-aged individuals because of degeneration to the fibrocartilaginous disk that cushions the articulations. Diagnosis relies on history, physical examination, imaging, and diagnostic local anesthetic injection. Diagnosis can be challenging given the lack of specificity with positive physical examination findings and the variable nature of AC joint pain. Of note, symptomatic AC osteoarthritis must be differentiated from instability and subtle instability, which may have similar symptoms. Although plain radiographs can reveal degeneration, diagnosis cannot be based on this alone because similar radiographic findings can be seen in asymptomatic individuals. Nonoperative therapy can provide symptomatic relief, whereas patients with persistent symptoms can be considered for resection arthroplasty by open or arthroscopic technique. Both techniques have proven to provide predictable pain relief; however, each has its own unique set of potential complications that may be minimized with an improved understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the joint along with meticulous surgical technique.
