Sternoclavicular joint series
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The standard SCJsternoclavicular radiographic series is a used to evaluate sternoclavicular joint and the proximal clavicle. Imaging of the sternoclavicular joint has since been replaced by computed tomography.
ProjectionsIndications
Standard projections
Additional projections
Indications
radiographs are performed for a variety of indications including: - trauma
- infection
- deformity in the absence of trauma
- congenital abnormalities
Projections
Standard projections
-
PA view
- standard projection demonstrating the sternoclavicular joints articulating with the manubrium
-
anterior oblique views
- oblique projection best utilised when assessing for joint separation, often performed bi laterally. With the RAO best used to demonstrate the right sternoclavicular joint and the LAO best suited to demonstrate the left sternoclavicular joint
Additional projections
-
lateral sternal view
- radiographic investigation of the entire length of the sternum in profile. The view is used to query fractures or infection
-
serendipity view
- specialised axial projection employed to investigate suspected anterior/posterior dislocations
