title: [RESEARCH PROGRESS IN TREATMENT OF STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT DISLOCATION].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the research progress in the surgical treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The literature on the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation was reviewed, summarized, and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At present, the main therapy of sternoclavicular joint dislocation is operation, including the sternoclavicular joint reconstruction, the inner end of the clavicle resection, and internal fixation of the sternoclavicular joint. The internal fixation surgery is the preferred way, which is reliable fixation and in favor of early functional exercise.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is the current focus of attention to select a reliable fixation that is accord with sternoclavicular joint anatomy and biomechanics.
