Abstract
Abstract. We report a case of complicated sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis in a previously healthy adult with no risk factors. An 83-year-old female presented to the emergency with a 1-week history of
right shoulder pain followed by fever and prostration in the last 48 h.
Computed tomography (CT) scan findings were consistent with right sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) septic arthritis complicated by periarticular abscess. Emergent surgical debridement was performed by a surgical team composed of orthopaedic and thoracic surgeons, followed by 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment. This case highlights the diagnosis and
surgical treatment of a rare septic arthritis location but with frequent
complications as well as the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration.
