Suggest Treatment For Sternoclavicular Dislocation

Posted on Tue, 12 Jul 2016

Question: Hi ! I had a sterno-clavicular dislocation (ventral side of body-toward front . .) in early March, and the clavicle is still protruding. It doesn't hurt, but I'm wondering if I should take steps to get it realigned, because a protruding bone might cause problems later on. Also - I got lots of 'PVC's'. I've had a 30-day Event Monitor which would have no doubt detected the many arrythmias. The doctor didn't seem to be concerned. Should I? Or, what should I have checked to ease my troubled mind about all these PVC's ?? thanks !

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Before giving you my opinion I would like to check out by myself all your test results (especially Holter monitoring report).

Can you please upload the results for me?

Aha ! I should have asked for the monitor results myself. I will get it tomorrow. I'll get back to you. When I ask for records, do you think they would give me a copy of the tape, as well as the written summary ? We'll see - !
