Previous techniques are associated with hardware migration, loss of reduction and infectious complications. We aim to describe our preferred surgical technique and summarize our experience with three\u2010point suture technique of acute SCJ<\/jats:styled-content> dislocation (SCJD<\/jats:styled-content>). The objective of this study was to describe and assess the safety of three\u2010point suture anchor repair technique in acute traumatic dislocation in the SCJ<\/jats:styled-content>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>A 7\u2010year retrospective study in a university affiliated level 1 trauma centre. Operative cases and the trauma registry was reviewed to identify all potential cases of SCJD<\/jats:styled-content> between 2005 and 2011. Inclusion criteria for this study were computed tomography (CT<\/jats:styled-content>) identification of A<\/jats:styled-content>llman III SCJD<\/jats:styled-content>, intra\u2010operative confirmation of the CT<\/jats:styled-content> findings, acute fixation defined as <7 days and surgical management with three\u2010point suture anchor technique. Chronic cases, suspected SCJD<\/jats:styled-content>s without CT<\/jats:styled-content> confirmation, physeal injuries and other surgical techniques were excluded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Eight patients met inclusion criteria. The patients were aged 16\u201346 years (mean age 24 years). Two primary surgeons were involved and time to surgery ranging from day of presentation to day 6 post injury. No loss to follow\u2010up with clinical examinations and imaging being attended at 2 and 6 weeks, and 3 months. Average follow\u2010up was 10.75 \u00b1 5.30 months (3\u201318 months). All patients had uncomplicated post\u2010operative course, with no evidence of respiratory compromise, swallowing difficulties during admission. In outpatient documentation there was no failure of hardware and no issues documented with regards to chronic pain or range of movement limitations secondary to pain. There have been no representations because of complications out to 6 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>This series supports the safety of the three\u2010point suture anchor technique in the acute stabilization of SCJD<\/jats:styled-content>. The technique is demonstrated as a safe, effective and reproducible method of SCJ<\/jats:styled-content> fixation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.12403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,29]],"date-time":"2013-10-29T09:52:40Z","timestamp":1383040360000},"page":"883-886","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Three\u2010point suture anchor repair of traumatic sternoclavicular joint dislocation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Sarah C.","family":"O'Reilly\u2010Harbidge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Traumatology Division of Surgery John Hunter Hospital and University of Newcastle Newcastle New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zsolt J.","family":"Balogh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Traumatology Division of Surgery John Hunter Hospital and University of Newcastle Newcastle New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1058-2746(97)90092-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-196803000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","first-page":"17","article-title":"Chronic dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint: an operative repair","volume":"140","author":"Booth CM","year":"1979","journal-title":"Clin.
