Amendola - SC dislocation

[cdubb]

Amendola must have very loose ligaments. Last year the elbow dislocation, and now dislocating his sternoclavicular joint.

Very rare injury (seen it only once) and can be life threatening it the clavicle dislocates posteriorly into your trachea/esophagus/aorta. to reduce (put back in place) them in the OR they say have a cardiothoracic surgeon on standby.

Likely just an anterior SC dislocation then.

Shitty luck. Just when he was starting to break out and find some major chemistry with Bradford.

Technically it's his ligaments he tears and not the bones that break so milk might not make a difference.

He needs to quit contact sports. He gets freak injuries - sternoclavicular dislocation is one of the rarest injuries. I have seen more traumatic amputations (arms and legs) and knee or hip dislocations than SC dislocations.

Well his injuries aren't even from physical contact just him falling to the ground. He is a true bandaid boy.

The fact is he theoretically could have died from this latest injury.

No other orthopedic injury is it recommended to have a cardiothoracic surgeon on standby if doing surgery.

Confirmed it was a posterior SC dislocation, lucky guy not more hurt.
