Posterior sternoclavicular dislocation is a rare but serious injury. Prompt recognition and treatment by emergency physicians are crucial to prevent life-threatening complications affecting the trachea, great vessels, and nerves.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Traumatology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Posterior sternoclavicular dislocation is an uncommon traumatic injury.
  • It requires urgent recognition due to potential severe complications.

Observation:

  • A case of posterior sternoclavicular dislocation is presented.
  • The clavicle's proximity to vital thoracic structures is highlighted.

Findings:

  • Posterior dislocations can cause tracheal, great vessel, esophageal, and laryngeal trauma.
  • Brachial plexus injury and pneumothorax are also potential complications.

Implications:

  • This injury should not be underestimated or mis-triaged as minor in the emergency department.
  • Delayed or improper treatment can lead to severe, life-threatening outcomes and permanent vocal cord changes.
