A satisfactory outcome was achieved, the patient returned to full sports activity 3 months after the surgery, with no limitations of movement. The necessity of early diagnosis and treatment options of this rare injury has been discussed. Key words: sternoclavicular joint, dorsal dislocation, open reduction.
