[Indexed for MEDLINE] 12. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2008 Jun;90(6):685-96. doi: 10.1302/0301-620X.90B6.20391. Disorders of the sternoclavicular joint. Robinson CM(1), Jenkins PJ, Markham PE, Beggs I. Author information: (1)Edinburgh Shoulder Clinic, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Old Dalkeith Road, Edinburgh EH16 4SU, UK. c.mike.robinson@ed.ac.uk The sternoclavicular joint is vulnerable to the same disease processes as other synovial joints, the most common of which are instability from injury, osteoarthritis, infection and rheumatoid disease. Patients may also present with other conditions, which are unique to the joint, or are manifestations of a systemic disease process. The surgeon should be aware of these possibilities when assessing a patient with a painful, swollen sternoclavicular joint. DOI: 10.1302/0301-620X.90B6.20391
