Type III: Operative vs. Non-operative
Phillips et al. (CORR, 1998)
Meta-analysis of 1172 patients
87% satisfactory outcome in both groups
Surgical treatment: infection (6% vs. 1%), re-operation (59% vs. 6%)
Non-operative treatment: returned to pre-injury activities sooner,
more nearly normal strength, but greater deformity (37% vs. 3%)
No difference in pain or strength between groups
Spencer (CORR, 2006)
Systematic review of 9 trials (448 patients)
Surgery: higher complication rates, longer convalescence,
and longer time away from work and sport
• What are the sequelae we would like to minimize?
• What constitutes an acceptable outcome?

![Page 16: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Summary: AC Separation in Hockey Players
No definitive data to support acute fixation
Majority of outcome measures equal to or better
with non-operative treatment
Improved cosmesis is the only proven benefit of surgery
Indications for surgery:
Types IV-VI
Clavicular instability
Chronic pain
Decreased strength
Posterior scapular impingement

![Page 17: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mechanism of Clavicle Fractures
Direct: Fall onto shoulder or blow to clavicle
Higher energy → displacement and comminution
More likely to be open and associated with
pneumothorax, N/V injury, and non-union
Indirect: Fall onto hand with proximal force
Attributed to strong ligamentous support
More likely to lead to plastic bowing in young

Classification of Clavicle Fractures
Type I: Minimal displacement
Type II: Medial to coracoclavicular ligaments
A: Conoid and trapezoid attached to distal fragment
B: Conoid ruptured, trapezoid attached to distal fragment
Group II: Fracture of the Distal Third - 15%
Group I: Fracture of the Middle Third - 80%
Type IIA Type IIB Type IV

Sternoclavicular Joint Injury
Anterior: 97%; posterior: 3%
Posterior: Potentially life-threatening injury
Few reports in rugby and American football players
Only 1 case report in hockey players JPO (1984)
Rarity combined with subtle exam findings difficult diagnosis
Most often due to physeal fracture (pseudo-dislocation) in kids
Only 120 cases described in the orthopedic literature

Mechanism of Injury in Hockey
Posterolateral force levers the medial (75%-95%)
Direct force to the medial clavicle is less frequent (10%-25%)

Advanced Imaging of the SC Joint
X-rays alone are not enough to
assess for SC joint injury
axial imaging should be obtained
CT imaging is preferred
Excellent skeletal detail
Both SC joints evaluated
MRI useful in skeletally immature (<25 yrs)
Often difficult to confirm reduction
![Page 32: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Closed Reduction - Posterior Dislocation
Standard of Care: Closed
reduction of SC joint
under general anesthesia
Use radiolucent table with a bolster between scapulae
Shoulder gradually extended while traction applied
Prepare for open reduction if necessary
Vascular surgeon should be immediately available
![Page 33: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Confirmation: Intra-operative CT
Success of closed reduction
difficult to confirm
Intra-operative x-rays difficult to
interpret
Intra-operative CT scan can
confirm successful reduction
SC joint stressed posteriorly and
repeat scan confirmed reduction
![Page 34: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Surgical Reconstruction: Figure-of-8
Indications: dislocation beyond 48° and/or persistent instability
![Page 35: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Return-to-Play: Posterior SC Dislocation
Closed reduction: 3 weeks to 3 months of immobilization reported
Prognosis of return to play difficult
No reports regarding elite-level athletes
Key exam: Ability to do push-ups
18 of 30 pts. able to return to play
6 pts. changed to sport with less contact
No recommendation on timing of play
Literature based on Level V (expert opinion) evidence

![Page 36: Shoulder Injuries in Hockey - AOSSM · 2015-09-03 · Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation Rare injury associated with serious short and long-term complications due to thoracic](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041016/5ec8bb29b2db9e1c3b0ac0e3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Conclusion: Sternoclavicular Dislocation
Rare injury associated with serious short and long-
term complications due to thoracic compression
CT scan imaging modality of choice
Closed reduction is seldom successful after 48°
All unreduced posterior dislocations should be
surgically reduced with a thoracic surgeon present
Return to play warranted if joint is stable and player
has full ROM and strength (minimum 4-5 weeks)
Little objective data to guide treatment decisions
