SUMMARY Posterior sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations are rare shoulder girdle injuries. Despite the paucity of cases, posterior SCJ dislocations pose an important threat to patient safety because of the proximity of the medial clavicle to the mediastinum, resulting in possible compression and/or injury to these structures. Current guidelines recommend attempting closed reduction in the acute setting followed by open reduction if closed reduction is unsuccessful. This video highlights a case of posterior SCJ dislocation in a pediatric patient who presented with dyspnea after a football injury.
