Abstract
Puri and associates [1] provide a thorough review of the risk factors, cause, and pathologic consequences of the uncommon but challenging problem of sternoclavicular joint infection [1]. Resection of the joint and necrotic tissue is the most effective treatment when boney destruction and significant local phlegmon is present. Pairolero and colleagues [2] appropriately stated in his important contribution to the management of sternal infections to “follow the same time-honored principles of wound healing elsewhere: the wound must be drained adequately; all necrotic tissue, devascularized tissue, and foreign material must be removed; and all residual space must be obliterated” [2].
