Abstract
Traumatic posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is extremely rare, and special consideration should be taken since complications involving major viscera, including tracheal laceration, hemorrhage from insult to great vessels, and hemopneumothorax, are not uncommon and catastrophic potential.
However radiologic diagnosis and management are frequently difficult in this disorder.
We have reported a case of the dislocation of 15 year-old female, in whom we treated succesfully with closed reduction under general anesthesia.
