| Summary: | 【Abstract】 Reactive arthritis or Reiter’s syndrome
characteristically affects the joint of the lower limb in an
asymmetrical pattern. Usually it does not affect the axial
skeleton or upper limbs. Although cases of atraumatic at-lantoaxial subluxations have been reported, no case of spon-taneous sternoclavicular dislocation in Reiter’s syndrome
has been reported. This paper describes a case of a 26 year
old male patient who developed a spontaneous posterior
sternoclavicular joint dislocation. No attempt of reduction
was made and the patient was managed conservatively with
good results.
