Sternoclavicular joint reconstruction for instability using LARS ligament : report of surgical technique and early outcomes – Orthopaedics proceedings – British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery – 2013

Traumatic injuries to the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) are uncommon representing only 3% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle. Acutely, the majority are managed non-operatively with physiotherapy rehabilitation. We report a new technique using a LARS® ligament (Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System) with good early post-operative results.
