Reconstruction of the Sternoclavicular Joint After Excessive Medial Clavicle Resection.

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

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.

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.

Arthroscopic sternoclavicular joint resection arthroplasty: a technical note and illustrated case report.

Project description:Open resection arthroplasty of the sternoclavicular (SC) joint has historically provided good long-term results in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the SC joint. However, the procedure is rarely performed because of the risk of injury to vital mediastinal structures and concern regarding postoperative joint instability. Arthroscopic decompression of the SC joint has therefore emerged as a potential treatment option because of many recognized advantages including minimal tissue dissection, maintenance of joint stability, avoidance of posterior SC joint dissection, expeditious recovery, and improved cosmesis. There are, however, safety concerns given the proximity of neurovascular structures. In this article we demonstrate a technique for arthroscopic SC joint resection arthroplasty in a 26-year-old active man with bilateral, painful, idiopathic degenerative SC joint osteoarthritis. This case also highlights the pearls and pitfalls of arthroscopic resection arthroplasty for the SC joint. There were no perioperative complications. Four months postoperatively, the patient had returned to full activities, including weightlifting, without pain or evidence of SC joint instability. One year postoperatively, the patient showed substantial improvements in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score; Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score; Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score; and Short Form 12 Physical Component Summary score over preoperative baseline values.

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 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.

Nanoscopic Distal Clavicle Resection.

Project description:Acromioclavicular joint pathology such as osteoarthritis has historically been treated with either an open or arthroscopic distal clavicle resection. Over the years the trend has been toward more minimally invasive treatment options with the arthroscope. In this article we highlight the use of the nanoscope to visualize the resection which can be performed through a small percutaneous incision. The advantages of this technique include the use of smaller portals, which should lead to improved earlier outcomes, and less iatrogenic damage to the shoulder.

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.

Restoring a functional and mobile shoulder following reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint with a free vascularized fibular flap.

Project description:Infection of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is rare and often missed at early stage. In extensive disease with bony and soft tissue destruction, radical excision is indicated. The loss of SCJ results in exposure of vital structures of the anterior mediastinum and instability of the shoulder girdle. SCJ reconstruction using locoregional muscle flaps like the pectoralis major or latissimus dorsi flap has been well described. While these options can provide soft tissue coverage, they do not restore the structural framework of the SCJ which is important for shoulder excursion and chest wall movement. We describe a case of SCJ reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular flap following the resection of sternoclavicular tubercular osteomyelitis. The fibula bone was used to restore the clavicular strut by anchoring it to the remaining manubrium with a steel wire and by plating the lateral end to the remnant clavicle. The steel wire served as a "defunctioning" cerclage that allowed motion of the joint to induce fibrous union. A strict post-operative rehabilitation protocol keeping the shoulder adducted at the initial phase was prescribed. At one year follow up, the patient achieved good shoulder function with 140 degrees of shoulder abduction and 110 degrees flexion.
