Laurent, Shenaq, and Nath. 1st Surel graft 2nd Intercostal transfer 3rd Latisimus Dorsi transfer with subscapular release 4th Pec release 5th Bicep lenghtening, (which weakened her bicep, and contracture returned.) Has went through serial casting with fair results. Her arm is about a hand shorter then the other. She has limited hand function. (able to grasp) Arm stays pronated. Unable to get to neutral. Now dealing with sternoclavicular subluxation. All that being said....She is very functional. She is a very determined, strong, tenacious young woman. Now 15. She plays the trumpet, french horn, drums, guitar, and now learning piano. Has always played on a softball, and basketball team. Until recently, for fear of further injury due to the sternoclavicular subluxation. (separation of colarbone from sternum) Not sure if all this is spelled right.

Anyone know of any papers or research on sternoclavicular subluxation secondary to brachial plexus injury, not related to scapular winging? Maybe bone deformity? 
Any assistance would be welcome,
Brenda

I guess I should tell you its when the collar bone separates or becomes dislocated from the sterum due to problems with the shoulder in bpi.
Anyone?

Sorry, I can't help! I lost my online portal to the local medical school and I'm so bummed.
I can tell you from personal experience, though, this condition sucks. I still have issues with my sternoclavicular joint stemming from our bad car accident back in 2005. It was apparently from a combination of direct injury from the seatbelt where it crossed the joint, as well as tearing of the muscles that attach to the sternum right there. My shoulder rhythm was disturbed and occasionally my muscles pull wrong and my clavicle slips. It doesn't do it so much anymore, thank goodness. But it still happens occasionally, out of the blue. When it does, it feels literally like my shoulder joint jams and I can't lift my arm above shoulder height. It doesn't hurt so much (anymore) but it sure is freaky when it happens!
