Snapping Sternoclavicular Joint

Snapping sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is a rare presentation in the SCJ. We present a case report detailing the presentation and treatment of unilateral snapping SCJ in a 14-year-old male patient. Clinical findings included the subluxation of the medial end of the clavicle in the anterior-posterior direction following a specific maneuver by the patient that involved repetitive external rotation with the arm in horizontal abduction. Dynamic ultrasound demonstrated an asymmetric widening of the right sternoclavicular joint in the neutral position with a pronounced subluxation in provocative positioning. At 3.5-year follow-up, he continued to remain pain-free without static deformity of the SCJ. Snapping SCJ is a benign phenomenon that does not require any intervention and is not associated with ligament laxity.
