Figure-8-Reconstruction Of Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation 18 Days Post Initial Injury, M Suri, S Bunemann
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Introduction: Traumatic sternoclavicular joint injuries account for less than 3% of all traumatic joint injuries1. Although rare, posterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint has the potential to be life-threatening due to the proximity of vital structures posterior to the manubrium. This injury typically requires a high-energy force applied through the joint2. SC dislocations become increasingly difficult to reduce after 24 hours, so timely diagnosis and treatment are important. Glass et al. found mediastinal compression occurred 30% of the time with posterior dislocations. If left untreated, prolonged pressure on the superior mediastinum can cause erosion of the great vessels, tracheoesophageal fistula, …

Review Of Diagnostic Accuracy Of The Ottawa Knee Rules In Adult Acute Knee Injuries, Sean L. Glover, Amy M. Loveless, Sara A. Posson, Zachary K. Winkelmann
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Acute knee injuries are commonly found in athletic populations. The wide range of knee injuries can present a challenge deciding which injuries require imaging. Currently, radiography is considered the gold standard of imaging for knee fractures. However, imaging is often costly not only for the patient, but also for the healthcare system. Since imaging is expensive, it is critical that clinicians decipher which patients require such testing. The Ottawa Knee Rules (OKR) is a predictor tool created by Stiell et al in 1995 to help clinicians accurately distinguish potential knee fractures from non-fractures for imaging purposes. The OKR guidelines state …
