Figure-of-Eight Cerclage With High-Resistance Sutures Plus InternalBrace as Treatment for Posterior Dislocation of the Sternoclavicular Joint: A Case Report.

The sternoclavicular joint dislocation is a very infrequent injury that can put the patient's life at risk if it is not diagnosed and treated properly. This can present as an anterior or posterior dislocation, the latter being less common and more dangerous due to its proximity to visceral structures of the thoracic cavity. Herein, we present the case of a 19-year-old male athlete diagnosed with a posterior dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint due to indirect trauma during a soccer match, who was successfully treated with a figure-of-eight cerclage with high-resistance sutures plus an InternalBrace technique.
