“…There were 4 other case reports that documented return to play or other activity with no timeline for return. 14,27,28,37 Williams 41 reported a case of a 21-year-old male football player who did not return to football after closed reduction and was lost to follow-up.…”

Return to Sports After Closed Reduction of Acute Traumatic Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocations: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Background: Acute traumatic posterior sternoclavicular (SC) joint dislocation is a serious injury given its potential to cause cardiovascular and airway compromise that typically will require emergent closed reduction. There are limited data on the rate of return to sports (RTS) after this injury pattern when treated in a closed fashion. Purpose: To systematically review the literature and evaluate (1) the rate of RTS after closed reduction of posterior SC dislocation and (2) the timeline for RTS after closed reduction of posterior SC dislocation. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review was performed using the PubMed, EBSCOhost, and Elsevier databases with the search term “sternoclavicular dislocation.” Inclusion criteria were publications reporting successful closed reduction of posterior SC joint dislocation and containing data relevant to the study objectives. Exclusion criteria were cases with unsuccessful closed reduction, open surgical reduction, concomitant fracture, epiphyseal disruption, superior or anterior dislocation, subluxation injury, treatment without reduction, and atraumatic or congenital origins. Results: Sixteen studies and an additional forthcoming case at the authors’ institution were identified to have documented RTS with a total of 31 patients. Of these patients, 23 (74%) in the cohort had full RTS. Eight of the 16 studies plus the additional case reported a timeline for RTS. The mean time to RTS was 3.1 months (range, 1-6 months). Of the 8 patients who did not return to preinjury sports or activity, 12.9% (4/31) reported restrictions with sports or activity, 6.5% (2/31) changed to a sport with less contact, 3.2% (1/31) experienced symptomatic recurrence requiring surgical stabilization, and 3.2% (1/31) quit the sport. Conclusion: Closed reduction of acute traumatic posterior SC joint dislocations provides high RTS rates with low rates of secondary surgical stabilization. The mean time to RTS at the preinjury activity level was 3.1 months.

Background Dislocations of the sternoclavicular joint (anterior/posterior) and acromioclavicular joint (SCJ and ACJ, respectively) are rare injuries in childhood/adolescence, each having its own special characteristics. In posterior SCJ dislocation, the concomitant injuries in the upper mediastinum are most important complication, while in anterior SCJ dislocation there is a risk of permanent or recurrent instability. Methods In a retrospective analysis from seven pediatric trauma centers under the leadership of the Section of Pediatric Traumatology of the German Trauma Society, children (<18 years) were analyzed with focus on age, gender, trauma mechanism, diagnostics, treatment strategy and follow-up results. Additional epidemiological big data analysis from routine data was done. Results In total 24 cases with an average age of 14.4 years (23 boys, 1 girl) could be evaluated (7x ACJ dislocation type ≥ Rockwood III; 17x SCJ dislocation type Allman III, including 12 posterior). All ACJ dislocations were treated surgically. Postoperative immobilization lasted 3–6 weeks, after which a movement limit of 90 degrees was recommended until implant removal. Patients with SCJ dislocation were posterior dislocations in 75%, and 15 of 17 were treated surgically. One patient had a tendency toward sub-dislocation and another had a relapse. Conservatively treated injuries healed without complications. Compared to adults, SCJ injuries were equally rarely found in children (< 1% of clavicle-associated injuries), while pediatric ACJ dislocations were significantly less frequent (p<0.001). Conclusions In cases of SCJ dislocations, our cohort analysis confirmed both the heterogeneous spectrum of the treatment strategies in addition to the problems/complications based on previous literature. The indication for the operative or conservative approach and for the specific method is not standardized. In order to be able to create evidence-based standards, a prospective, multicenter-study with a sufficiently long follow-up time would be necessary due to the rarity of these injuries in children. The rarity was emphasized by our routine data analysis.

Sternoclavicular joint dislocation (SCJD) is a rare injury; there are only two reported cases of SCJD that have occurred during judo practice. We present a case of an 18-year-old male athlete who fell while practicing judo and experienced upper left chest pain. He was diagnosed with posterior SCJD at another institute before being transferred to our hospital. Closed reduction was initially not possible using traditional methods. Reduction was eventually accomplished by clamping the proximal end of the clavicle using bone forceps and rotating it while pulling it upward. Many authors have reported that closed reduction is difficult if not performed within 48 h after SCJD injury. However, we were able to achieve closed reduction approximately 72 h after injury. We found that reduction might be easily accomplished by pulling the proximal end of the clavicle up and rotating it when other closed reduction methods are unsuccessful.
