<br>CT without contrast: Posterior dislocation of the head of the right clavicle at the level of the sternoclavicular joint by a full shaft diameter. Mild superior migration of the clavicular head relative to the sternal manubrium, findings consistent with disruption of the sternoclavicular ligaments and capsule. <a href="CaseStudyImages/CS2CS1ChestSideStory-1085.jpg" title="Case Photo #2" data-lity><b>Case Photo #2</b></a> <a href="CaseStudyImages/CS3CS2CS1ChestSideSt-1085.jpg" title="Case Photo #3" data-lity><b>Case Photo #3</b></a>

<br>CT with contrast: No arterial vascular injury. Dislocation of right sternoclavicular joint with posterior displacement of the right clavicular head by a full shaft width in close approximation to the Brachiocephalic artery but does not contact it. <a href="CaseStudyImages/CS4CS3CS2CS1ChestSid-1085.jpg" title="Case Photo #4" data-lity><b>Case Photo #4</b></a> <a href="CaseStudyImages/CS5CS4CS3CS2CS1Chest-1085.jpg" title="Case Photo #5" data-lity><b>Case Photo #5</b></a>
