Case:
We describe a case of a traumatic superior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) due to an isolated rupture of the costoclavicular ligament (CCL). A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated the CCL rupture with preservation of the anterior and posterior SCJ ligaments. This was successfully treated with an isolated hamstring tendon reconstruction of the CCL, resulting in a satisfactory outcome at 1 year after the procedure.
Conclusion:
Isolated CCL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon in a patient with a superior SCJ dislocation provided a satisfactory outcome.
