Confirmed, per source, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill had a posterior SC (sternoclavicular) dislocation which was successfully reduced in the hospital. No surgery required. He will stay overnight.

What about the Jag guy who went after Mahomes' throwing shoulder after he released the ball? That one was worse than the facemask on the slide IMHO. [Reply]

The one I read said 5 months to return to light football activity. As with everything it sounds like it will depend on how severe it was. [Reply]

Is this the latest we know?
It's not really a should injury. It's where the collar bone meets the sternum on the chest. The collar bone is pushed back behind the sternum [Reply]
I'm seeing that it's recommended to be in a sling for 2-8 weeks after a sternoclavicular dislocation. Healing times depend on if they could perform an open or closed reduction. [Reply]

Posterior dislocation of the SCJ can be associated with life threatening complications such as neurovascular, tracheal and oesophageal injuries. Due to the high mortality associated with such complications, these injuries need to be recognised acutely and managed promptly. Investigations such as X-ray imaging are poor at delineating anatomy at the level of the mediastinum and therefore CT imaging has become the investigation of choice. Due to its rarity, the current guidance on how to manage acute and chronic dislocations is debatable.

I hope so and obviously it depends on how severe it is. Just knowing our luck... [Reply]
