- Abstract
A case of an 18-year-old gardener who sustained an anterior-superior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint while playing handball and falling on his right shoulder is presented. Non-surgical treatment failed, and the patient could willingly dislocate the right clavicle while abduction and external rotation of the arm. This painful condition was finally treated with surgical reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint using gracilis tendon autograft and repair of the discus. Level of evidence Therapeutic study, case report and technical note, Level IV.
