[Luxations in the sternoclavicular joint].
Primary open reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires and/or fascia lata or PDS is recommended in the treatment of acute traumatic luxations of the sternoclavicular joint. If not bent or secured against migration, K-wires may be the reason for lethal postoperative complications. We report on 7 own patients with luxation of the sternoclavicular joint and discuss the problems in diagnosis, operative and postoperative treatment of this rare lesion.
