Abstract

Dislocations of the sternoclavicular joint can be easily characterized with computed tomography. Two typical cases, one demonstrating superior dislocation and the other showing posterior dislocation of the clavicle, illustrate the value of the method. Correlated anatomical observations demonstrate the proximity of the great vessels to the sternoclavicular joint.
