AB  - Sternoclavicular  dislocations  are  uncommon,  accounting  for  less  than  3%  of  shoulder  girdle  injuries.1  The  medial  clavicle  may  be  displaced  anteriorly,  posteriorly,  or  rarely  superiorly  (Figure  101-1).2  Bipolar  clavicular  dislocations  (i.e.,  simultaneous  dislocation  of  both  clavicular  articulations)  also  occur  rarely.3  Anterior  dislocations  are  considerably  more  common  than  posterior  dislocations.  However,  posterior  dislocations  deserve  more  attention  due  to  the  far  higher  incidence  of  associated  complications.1  Also,  since  the  medial  clavicular  physis  closes  relatively  late  in  life,  what  appears  to  be  a  posterior  sternoclavicular  dislocation  in  young  patients  may  actually  be  a  medial  epiphyseal  disruption  with  posterior  displacement.4
