Retrosternal dislocation of the clavicle

Abstract
Retrosternal dislocation of the clavicle is an uncommon injury which may affect the mediastinal structures in a life-threatening way. Therefore, computed tomography is mandatory. Manipulation in the acute situation is the treatment of choice. In case of failure or old dislocation, open reduction with stabilization of the joint is required. The literature on this subject has been reviewed and an additional two cases are reported.
