The sternoclavicular joint is a saddle shaped, synovial joint and is the only skeletal articulation between the axial skeleton and the upper limb. Here, a reviewis provided of the anatomy, biomechanics, traumatic and atraumatic conditions, and management options for the various conditions described.

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 infection is rare. Operation is the treatment of choice, but there is no generally accepted approach. This report evaluated the clinical and functional results after extended surgical treatment.

Lateral Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation: A Case Report.

JBJS Case Connect

October 2024

North American Spine and Pain; Hainesport, New Jersey.

Case: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman who sustained a left lateral sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation. Imaging demonstrated a 30-mm gap between the sternum and medial clavicle. Given well-preserved shoulder range of motion and well-controlled pain, she was ultimately treated nonoperatively.

Manubriosternal Morphology of Anthropoid Primates.

Am J Biol Anthropol

January 2025

Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, M263 Medical Sciences Building, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, USA.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to examine the proportions of the manubrium and sternebrae across anthropoid primates to explore variation hypothesized to be related to thoracic shape and locomotor specialization, and to determine whether the sternoclavicular joint orientation in hominoids reflects hypothesized differences in shoulder joint positioning relative to the thorax.

Materials And Methods: Metric data and sternoclavicular joint orientation data were collected from calibrated photographs of manubria and sternebrae from a large sample (n = 244) of extant anthropoid primates, as well as a small sample of fossil taxa. Manubriosternal and rib cage metric data were also collected from CT scans of an additional 52 extant anthropoid torsos.
