“…3,4 Previous descriptions in the literature of SCJ disk excision are limited. 1,5,6 A case report by Duggan 6 in 1931 describes the finding of a damaged disk that herniated through a tear in the anterior SCJ capsule. The patient's symptoms settled after excision of the disk and repair of the capsule.…”

“…The patient's symptoms settled after excision of the disk and repair of the capsule. In 2010, Delos et al 5 reported on 2 cases of disk tears diagnosed by CT and MRI who underwent successful open "meniscectomy" and capsular repair. After surgery the patients required 6 weeks of immobilization in a sling.…”

“…The intra-articular disk is actually a continuation of the intra-articular disk ligament, which arises from the chondral junction of the first rib. 5,12 The disk divides the SC joint into 2 separate joint spaces. It covers the cartilaginous portion of the medial end of the clavicle and attaches superiorly and posteriorly to the articular cartilage.…”

“…4 Until recently the awareness and treatment of SCJ intra-articular disk tears had been limited. 3,[5][6][7] However, advances in routine computed tomographic (CT) and MRI imaging and the advent of arthroscopic sternoclavicular surgery may allow for easier diagnosis and treatment of symptomatic disk tears. [8][9][10] This Technical Note describes the diagnosis and arthroscopic surgical technique for the management of symptomatic SCJ intra-articular disk tears.…”

The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) has a complete intra-articular disk that can be damaged either as a result of trauma or as part of ongoing degenerative joint disease. Although often asymptomatic, SCJ disk tears may lead to mechanical symptoms and pain. Previously, isolated symptomatic SCJ disk tears have only occasionally been mentioned in the literature with a few associated case reports of diskectomy by open arthrotomy. With improved imaging and availability of magnetic resonance imaging scans and the advent of SCJ arthroscopy it is now possible to treat symptomatic SCJ disk tears by arthroscopic excision. In this Technical Note, we describe the diagnosis of a torn SCJ disk and the technique of arthroscopic excision of a torn SCJ disk.

“…§ Discectomy in the early stages after a traumatic disc tear is a treatment option for patients with ongoing posttraumatic joint pain. 6,20,30 Diverse techniques of SC joint resection arthroplasty have been published, with varying amounts of medial clavicle resection ranging from a few millimeters up to 4 cm. k A frequently used resection line runs oblique in relation to the SC joint from superolateral to inferomedial.…”
