Abstract
We present a surgical reconstruction technique for chronic unstable sternoclavicular (SC) joint utilizing the tendon of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle and additional augmentation utilizing the palmaris longus free tendon graft to secure the medial end of the clavicle to the first rib. This double stabilization procedure may strengthen the SC joint fixation for the chronic SC joint instability.Entities:
