1 thought on “manubriosternal and sternoclavicular joint arthritis”

Thanks to all who responded.
Responses are below. I have to admit that trauma was down on my list, it
was minor (fall from height at school) but I had two strong feedbacks from
Robert Lambert and Avneesh. There is definitely mild manubriosternal
malalignment.
Patine is currently finishing a full rheumatology blood work. I´ll keep you
posted.
cheers

1 – Interesting case.
On the Sag, there is definite manubriosternal malalignment – suggests
trauma. You don’t usually see this with the inflammatory arthropathies.
Minor inflammation in the SCJ could be reactive to the sternal changes.
I think CRMO is very unlikely.
So I would say – not definite but – Trauma > JIA – and lab results /
rheumatologists opinion should help.
2 – Just post traumatic findings it’s a subluxation at the manubriosternal
junction and disc extrusion. And sprain of the s-c joints
3- ?sapho
4- Hi Lucas,
yes, probable CRMO.
But also juvenile-onset ankylosis spondylitis could be excluded-it usually
starts with arthritis of single joint in lower limb (hip, knee), but
sterno-clavicular joints may be the first to be affected, so check HLA B27.
5- More like crmo to me.
No articular joint effusion.
Do Crp
