Manubriosternal dislocation
Manubriosternal dislocation (or sternomanubrial dislocation) represents a range of dislocation injuries of the sternomanubrial joint.
Terminology
Joint dislocations are named according to the distal component in relation to the proximal bone. Thus, as the manubrium is superior to the sternum a...
