Techniques for Reduction and Fixation of the Sternoclavicular Joint.

Abstract

This video demonstrates the relevant anatomy, approach, and surgical techniques for reduction and fixation of the sternoclavicular joint in both the acute and chronic settings. Fixation techniques demonstrated include transosseous suture fixation, figure-of-eight autograft/allograft fixation, and transarticular plating. A step-by-step guide is provided with demonstration video on cadaveric specimens for each technique, along with a case example that demonstrates acute reduction and fixation of a posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation.
