Abstract

Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is an uncommon condition and it has been associated with numerous predisposing factors. We describe a rare case of SCJ infection due to Staphylococcus aureus in an adult without known underlying predisposing conditions and in which recovery was achieved with medical therapy alone.
