Abstract
A 13-year-old boy presented with 3 weeks of atraumatic left-sided sternoclavicular (SC) joint pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion. After imaging and laboratory workup, he underwent operative irrigation, debridement, and antibiotic therapy with complete resolution of his symptoms. Surgical cultures were consistent with SC septic arthritis.
