["Manubriosternal Synchondrosis": A Rare Problem in Sports Medicine].
Non-traumatic, inflammatory and painful lesions of the manubriosternal joint are rare pathologies and, to our knowledge, have not been described in the literature of sports medicine. We report the case of a 30-year-old male strength athlete who developed chronic pain in the manubriosternal joint after exercise. Four-month abstinence from exercise combined with a conservative rehabilitation program performed after clinical and radiological tests did not bring any symptomatic relief. After a local ultrasound-guided single-shot sclerotherapy procedure performed in our clinic, the patient was free of symptoms and quickly regained his ability to exercise.
