title: [Posterior sternoclavicular luxation. Apropos of 6 cases].
abstract: The authors have reviewed six retro-sternal dislocations of the clavicle. The indirect mechanism of this dislocation was in 3 cases, due to sport accidents (rugby). The radiological incidence of Heining allowed the diagnosis and the CT examination carried out the checkup of the associated lesions. The surgical reduction revealed lesions of the meniscus which were found in 3 cases out of 6 and allowed one to realize a plastic operation using the tendon of the subclavian muscle (4 times out of 6) in order to stabilize by sternoclavicular joint, as well in recent injuries as in old ones. The results were satisfactory.
