Sternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction in the Setting of Medial Comminuted Clavicle Fracture.

ABSTRACT: A dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a particularly threatening injury given the close proximity of neighboring vital structures. Moreover, a traumatic injury resulting in a comminuted fracture of the medial clavicle in addition to joint instability results in even greater complexity. In the setting of sternoclavicular joint instability, definitive treatment that will lead to complete resolution of symptoms is necessary. Various treatment methods, both conservative and operative, with positive treatment outcomes have been described. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique to treat a medial comminuted clavicle fracture with anterior sternoclavicular joint instability.

Reconstruction of the Sternoclavicular Joint After Excessive Medial Clavicle Resection.

Project description:Medial clavicle excision is a rarely indicated procedure and may be performed in different pathologies affecting the medial clavicle. Excessive medial clavicle resection with an injury to the costoclavicular ligament often leads to poor postoperative results. The exact surgical treatment used in this kind of pathology when conservative treatment is unsuccessful remains unclear. The aim of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique to treat this condition.

Ipsilateral sternoclavicular joint anterior dislocation with fracture of the mid shaft of the clavicle.

Project description:Even though fractures of the clavicle are very common but fracture of the shaft of clavicle associated with sternoclavicular joint dislocation is extremely rare. This is a case report of a 50-year old woman who met with a road accident. Radiographs revealed right mid shaft clavicle fracture with inferior angulation of fracture fragments, anterior dislocation of sternoclavicular joint. The sternoclavicular joint was stabilized with sutures whereas the midshaft fracture was managed non-operatively. In postoperative period the sternoclavicular joint was found stable whereas the shaft clavicle united completely after 6 months.

A Case Report of the Reconstruction of a Bone Defect Following Resection of a Comminuted Fracture of the Lateral Clavicle Using a Titanium Prosthesis.

Project description:Introduction: This case report describes the reconstruction of a severe comminuted fracture and bone defect in the lateral half of the clavicle using a novel titanium prosthesis. This unique prosthesis has been specifically designed and three dimensionally printed for the clavicle, as opposed to the Oklahoma cemented composite prosthesis used in common practice. The aims of this study were to: (1) describe the prosthesis, its stress analysis, and its surgical fixation and (2) to demonstrate the results of the 2-year follow-up of the patient with the lateral clavicle prosthesis. Patient's Main Concerns: A 20-year-old, right-handed woman complaining of severe pain in the right shoulder was admitted to our hospital following a traffic accident. Physical examination revealed pain, swelling, tenderness, limb weakness, asymmetric posturing, and loss of function in the right shoulder. Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes: Radiographic evaluation in the emergency room showed complete destruction with a comminuted fracture of the lateral half of the right clavicle and a comminuted fracture of the coracoid. We designed a new prosthesis for the lateral half of the clavicle, which was then tested by finite element analysis and implanted. Use of the new prosthesis was effective in the reconstruction of the comminuted fracture in the lateral half of the clavicle. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient had an aesthetically acceptable curve and was able to perform her activities of daily living. Her pain was relieved, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score improved. Active range of motion of the shoulder joint and muscle strength were also improved. Conclusion: This novel prosthesis is recommended for reconstruction of the lateral half of the clavicle following development of bony defects due to fracture. Our patient achieved functional and aesthetic satisfaction with this prosthesis.

Figure-of-8 Reconstruction Technique for Chronic Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation.

Project description:Dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare injury and typically requires high-energy forces applied through the joint. Initial treatment is dependent on the direction of dislocation, with acute reduction indicated for posterior dislocations presenting with signs of tracheal, esophageal, or neurovascular compression. Although most patients do well with conservative treatment after the initial trauma, some can have persistent pain and scapular dyskinesia due to instability or locked dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint. Stabilization of the sternoclavicular joint with reconstruction may be indicated for those with persistent symptoms despite a trial of steroid injections and physical therapy. In this report and video, we present a figure-of-8 reconstruction technique to reduce and stabilize a posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint using a gracilis autograft. Ultimately, this reconstruction technique can be performed in a safe, efficient, and reliable manner when appropriate surgical steps are followed.

Distal Clavicle Fracture Repair Using Cortical Button Fixation With Coracoclavicular Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Management of distal clavicle fractures remains controversial. Various treatment options have been described including open reduction and internal fixation with hook plate fixation, tension band wiring, screw fixation, and distal locking plates. Many of these techniques are associated with a high perioperative complication rate. We describe a surgical technique that allows indirect fixation of distal clavicle fractures and reconstruction of the CC ligaments without the use of prominent hardware.

Arthroscopy of the sternoclavicular joint.

Project description:Traditionally, an open approach has been required to undertake any surgical intervention for intra-articular sternoclavicular joint pathology. This in itself carries a certain operative morbidity, including damage to the underlying mediastinal structures and damage to the sternoclavicular and costoclavicular ligaments, with subsequent joint instability and unsightly scarring. This technical note describes an arthroscopic approach to the sternoclavicular joint that reduces this morbidity. The evolution of the technique including the rationale for portal placement and the angle of instrument insertion is explained. Experience of over 50 arthroscopic procedures including diagnostic arthroscopy, discectomy, excision of loose bodies, and washout and debridement after infection and excision of the medial end of the clavicle for osteoarthritis is detailed.

Arthroscopic Distal Clavicle and Medial Border of Acromion Resection for Symptomatic Acromioclavicular Joint Osteoarthritis.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis can lead to persistent shoulder pain. Distal clavicle excision is the most common operative procedure in patients with failed, conservative symptomatic acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis treatment, with some reports of complications. This report describes an alternative procedure that can be used to excise the distal clavicle together with the medial border of the acromion. This technique is a simple procedure because the standard distal clavicle excision can preserve the acromioclavicular ligament, as well as the joint capsule, and achieve an adequate resection length.

Arthroscopic Excision of the Sternoclavicular Joint.

Project description:Osteoarthritis changes at the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) have been shown to be present on computed tomography in more than 90% of people over the age of 60 years. Although usually asymptomatic, when symptoms do occur, they can be very debilitating. Most patients respond favorably to conservative treatment, but there is a small cohort of patients who continue to be symptomatic despite adequate conservative treatment. Surgical management with an open SCJ excision has been shown to give satisfactory results. However, probably due to concerns with regard to damage to the mediastinal structures, instability, and scarring, there is a high threshold for surgery. Arthroscopic SCJ excision has been shown to achieve similar results to an open procedure while avoiding some of the risks. In this Technical Note, we describe the indications, imaging, and the technique of an arthroscopic excision of the SCJ.

Medial clavicle pseudarthrosis successfully treated with an inverted distal clavicle locking plate.

Project description:IntroductionMedial clavicle fractures are rare injuries. Symptomatic nonunion arises up to 8% of medial clavicle fractures when treated conservatively.Presentation of caseA 53-year-old man sustained a left medial clavicle fracture and was treated conservatively at another hospital. Nine months after his initial injury, he was referred to our institution. We diagnosed pseudarthrosis of the medial clavicle. We performed open reduction and internal fixation using an inverted distal clavicle locking plate. At the 1-year follow-up, radiographs showed bone union.DiscussionThis is the first reported case of medial clavicle pseudarthrosis treated with an inverted distal clavicle anatomical locking plate. There are several advantages in using this plate.ConclusionThis method is a good treatment option.

Arthroscopic treatment of comminuted distal clavicle fractures (latarjet fractures) using 2 double-button devices.

Project description:Complex distal clavicle fractures associated with a rupture of the coracoclavicular ligaments (Latarjet fractures) can result in delayed union or nonunion. There is no standard treatment for a clavicle fracture. This report introduces an arthroscopic technique for treating distal clavicle fractures associated with ruptured coracoclavicular ligament using 2 double-button devices. By use of posterior and anterior standard arthroscopic portals, the base of the coracoid process is exposed through the rotator interval. A 4-mm hole is drilled through the clavicle and the coracoid process with a specific ancillary drill guide. The first button is pushed through both holes down the coracoid process. The device is tightened, and the second button is fixed on top of the clavicle, allowing reduction and fixation of the proximal part of the fracture. Then, the undersurface of the lateral clavicle is dissected through standard posterior and lateral subacromial approaches. The inferior clavicle fragment is reduced and fixed to the clavicle body by a double button fixed down and at the top of the clavicle. With this technique, the arthroscopic treatment of distal clavicle fracture has been extended to comminuted fractures.
