Introduction And Importance: Sternoclavicular joint dislocation accounts for 1 percent of the human joint dislocations. Sternoclavicular joint dislocation most commonly occurs in anterior or posterior dislocation. To the best of the authors knowledge, only six cases of superior sternoclavicular joint dislocation are reported in the literature. The injury is commonly missed.

Case Presentation: We present a 28-year-old athlete with upper chest pain and right shoulder range of motion limitation. On imaging, it was revealed that he had a superior sternoclavicular dislocation. He was managed with arm sling, analgesics and physiotherapy. After 3 months, he was asymptomatic and returned to his sport activity successfully.

Clinical Discussion: We searched the published related studies and summarized the signs and symptoms of patients presented with sternoclavicular dislocation. Chest pain is one of the most common symptom while sternoclavicular tenderness and restriction of shoulder movement are among the most common signs of sternoclavicular dislocations. Conservative, close reduction, and open reduction and internal fixation with fiber wire have been applied for cases with superior sternoclavicular dislocation with acceptable results.

Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is needed in order not to miss sternoclavicular dislocation. In cases with no evidence of mediastinal structure compression it may be managed conservatively successfully. However, some degree of cosmetic deformity may remain at the sternoclavicular joint in those treated with conservative therapy.

A 34-year-old man was admitted for surgical treatment following traumatic posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation and anterior mediastinum hematoma with compression of brachiocephalic vein (A, B). Intra-operative positioning consid- ered access for possible sternotomy and control of upper vena cava territory in case of bleeding from venous confluent (C). Patient was submitted to open reduction of sternoclavicular joint through an oblique supraclavicular incision (D), fixation with high strength orthopedic suture (E), mediastinal drainage and closure with absorbable suture (F).

Tuberculosis (TB) infection of the Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is a rare entity, with 1-2% of all osteo-articular cases reported. We report a series of three cases of TB of the SCJ, in the patients presented with swelling of SCJ. Cytology showed chronic granulomatous pathology in all three cases, with one patient having Cartridge base nucleic acid amplification test positive for TB and another one having acid fast bacilli positive on Ziehl Neelsen staining.
