SUMMARY
Background. Acute posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation is a rare, serious and difficult injury to diagnose and treat. Posteriorly dislocated clavicle may compress mediastinal structures making this injury an emergency requiring urgent reduction.
There is no gold standard of treatment. The purpose of this retrospective study is to demonstrate the treatment of acute posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation with figure-of-eight FiberTape technique, its efficacy and mid-term outcomes.
Materials and methods. For this retrospective study, we recruited five patients who were treated for acute traumatic posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation. Attempts of close reduction were unsuccessful in all cases. Open reduction and surgical fixation were therefore performed with figure- of-eight technique using FiberTape. Data concerning time from injury to surgical treatment, hospital stay time, preinjury sport activity level were analyzed. The median follow-up time was 12 months (range 10-26) which included clinical evaluations and the DASH and Oxford Shoulder score questionnaires.
Results. Open reduction and sternoclavicular joint fixation were successful in all subjects with no complications. The treatment functional results were very good.
DASH scores were 0.8 (n = 2), 1.7, 2.5 and 3.3 and Oxford Shoulder scores 44, 44, 46, 46, 48. The durability of our fixation was confirmed when one of the patients had a subsequent bike accident 3 months after the procedure. The initial fixation was unaffected.
Conclusions. The presented technique allowed safe, effective, and durable results of the posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocations management.
