Abstract

A traumatic dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare injury, and among them, anterior dislocation is more common than a posterior dislocation. Posterior dislocation is a potential risk by compressing the mediastinal structures, but an anterior dislocation has not been considered a risk. Traumatic sternoclavicular joint anterior dislocation associated with anterior angulation of a sternal fracture can develop mediastinal compression and have a risk in the same way as a posterior dislocation. This case report is about a traumatic sternoclavicular joint anterior dislocation with a sternal fracture accompanied by mediastinal compression that was treated surgically using a plate and showed relatively good clinical results. This rare case is reported along with a review of the relevant literature.

흉쇄관절의 외상성 탈구는 드문 손상으로 전방 탈구가 후방 탈구에 비하여 흔하다. 후방 탈구는 종격동 구조물을 압박하여 잠재적 위험성이 있다고 잘 알려져 있지만 전방 탈구는 그러한 위험성에 대한 고려가 없었다. 전방 탈구라도 흉골 골절의 전방 각형성과 동반된 경우에 후방 탈구와 마찬가지로 종격동 압박이 발생 가능하며 그로인한 위험성이 있다. 본 저자들은 종격동 압박 증상이 있는 흉골 골절과 동반된 외상성 흉쇄관절 전방 탈구에 대하여 금속판을 이용해 수술적 치료를 시행하였고 비교적 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 이는 국내외에서 매우 드물게 보고되는 사례로 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
