Article Abstract
Posttraumatic sternoclavicular arthritis related to chronic ligamentous instability after posterior sternoclavicular dislocation represents a rare but challenging problem. The current article in the Journal's "Safe Surgical Technique" series describes a successful salvage procedure by partial resection of the medial clavicle and ligamentous reconstruction of the sternoclavicular joint with a figure-of-eight semitendinosus allograft interposition arthroplasty.

Sternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction Using a Hamstring and Cadaveric Fibular Cortical Allograft: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Health System, Maywood, Illinois.
Case: A 49-year-old woman with sternoclavicular insufficiency following medial clavicle resection underwent sternoclavicular joint reconstruction using a hamstring allograft and a cadaveric fibular cortical allograft. After 4 months of follow-up, the patient was pain-free, with radiographic evidence of graft incorporation by 8 months.
Conclusion: Medial clavicle resection is a rare procedure with broad indications.

Background: Painful degeneration of the sternoclavicular joint refractory to nonoperative treatment has historically been managed with resection of the degenerative segment of the medial clavicle. Although this has produced good results with improvement in symptoms, recurrent pain necessitating revision surgery is not an infrequently encountered outcome. To reduce the occurrence of recurrent postoperative pain, a novel technique to reconstruct the intra-articular disc at the time of medial clavicle resection was developed.

Background: Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) instability can lead to pain, reduced function, and an inability to perform sports and activities of daily living. Reconstruction of the SCJ using hamstring autograft in a figure-of-8 configuration has demonstrated good outcomes at short- and midterm follow-ups, but there is a paucity of literature on long-term outcomes.
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical and functional outcomes after SCJ reconstruction, with a focus on return to sport, instability recurrence, and revision surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Posterior sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations are uncommon but can lead to urgent situations due to surrounding vital structures, necessitating either conservative or surgical management when closed reduction fails.
- This study reviews recent literature on SCJ trauma and presents five case studies from a single institution, detailing treatments that include a figure-of-eight autologous semitendinosus graft and high-strength suture tape.
- Follow-up results show that regardless of treatment choice, patients regained full shoulder range of motion and strength without neurological issues, indicating effective healing and recovery.
Predictors of Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life After Sternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction With Hamstring Tendon Autograft.

Steadman Philippon Research Institute, Vail, Colorado, USA.
Background: Anterior instability of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is a rare but potentially devastating pathological condition, particularly when it occurs in young or active patients. SCJ reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft is a commonly used treatment option, yet to date results are limited to small case series. Studies on baseline, preoperative factors and their association with postoperative outcome are limited.
