Clinical Outcomes and Complications After Sternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction for Chronic Instability: A Systematic Review

This review found that SC joint reconstruction leads to significant improvements in PROMs and return to activity, with a low complication rate, regardless of technique type, including unicortical versus bicortical and allograft versus autograft reconstruction. This study supports the need for further comparative and biomechanical studies to validate findings and refine surgical recommendations.

Abstract

This review found that SC joint reconstruction leads to significant improvements in PROMs and return to activity, with a low complication rate, regardless of technique type, including unicortical versus bicortical and allograft versus autograft reconstruction. This study supports the need for further comparative and biomechanical studies to validate findings and refine surgical recommendations.
