Case report of bilateral sternoclavicular dislocation associated with open book fracture of the pelvis

This article presents a case of anterior bilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation associated with an open-book pelvic fracture, a case not previously reported in the literature. This is a rare case, as no literature search revealed any in which the trauma mechanism involved a vehicle being run over, where the vehicle's wheel passed over the sternum, displacing it posteriorly, resulting in bilateral anterior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joints. Furthermore, the same wheel that caused the posterior dislocation of the sternum, passing over the pubic symphysis, caused an open-book fracture.
