    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Sternoclavicular joint disruptions are rare in infants.
    • Traumatic injuries to the sternoclavicular joint require careful diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A 7-month-old female presented with an anterosuperior sternoclavicular disruption.
    • The injury was attributed to significant trauma.

    Findings:

    • Conservative management was initiated for the infant's sternoclavicular disruption.
    • The patient demonstrated positive outcomes following non-operative treatment.

    Implications:

    • Conservative treatment can be effective for pediatric sternoclavicular joint injuries.
    • This case suggests a favorable prognosis for similar traumatic injuries in young children.
