How to treat sternoclavicular joint protrusion

Patients with protruding sternoclavicular joints may suffer from subluxation or complete subluxation of the sternoclavicular joint, which is mainly caused by direct external force on the sternoclavicular joint. If a patient has a sternoclavicular joint subluxation, and it does not affect the normal life much, most of the patients can take conservative treatment by fixing the local area with a brace, applying a golden ointment or blood-strengthening ointment to promote the absorption of local bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and also taking oral tendon and blood-strengthening tablets or Yunnan Baiyao to make the disease heal as soon as possible. If a complete dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint occurs and affects the patient’s function, surgical treatment is required, which requires incision and internal fixation, and early functional exercise after surgery.
