A 31-year-old male amateur bodybuilder presented with a 2-year history of chronic pain over the sternum and a clicking sensation in the chest wall on movement. Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no cause for his symptoms. Dynamic ultrasound scan performed at a specialist sports center revealed pseudoarthrosis of the manubriosternal joint (MSJ). After a period of conservative management (rest and analgesia), he failed to improve and underwent debridement and fusion of the MSJ with plates and screws. At follow-up 23 months later, he remains pain-free and has returned to weight lifting and bodybuilding.
一名31岁的男性业余健美运动员，胸骨慢性疼痛2年，运动时胸壁有弹响感。超声、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）均未发现其症状的病因。在一家专业体育中心进行的动态超声扫描显示，胸骨柄体关节（MSJ）存在假关节。经过一段时间的保守治疗（休息和镇痛）后，他的病情没有改善，随后接受了MSJ清创及钢板螺钉固定融合术。23个月后的随访显示，他已无疼痛，恢复了举重和健美运动。
