CHANGES IN THE STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT FOLLOWING RADICAL NECK DISSECTION

Abstract
Following radical neck dissection, the medial end of the clavicle on the ipsilateral side commonly undergoes subluxation. It is this subluxation, coupled with torque-like rotation of the clavicle, which produces the characteristic deformity in the area of the sternoclavicular joint.
