sterno clavicular dislocation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
any knowledge about this uncommon injury?
in jan this year, a friend of mine got dumped on the sand and had her collarbone dislocated at the sternum (specifically, anterior & superior).
the medicos advised rest, but she has since discovered that external reduction of the dislocation is possible only within 5-10 days.
she is, understandably, desparate for info... can anyone please help?
