흉쇄 관절의 화농성 관절염은 드문 질환으로 정맥주사 약물 남용, 당뇨 그리고 외상 등과 같은 선행성 요인과 연관되어 주로 발생한다. 진단이 지연될 경우 종격동염, 흉벽 농양 등과 같은 위험한 합병증이 발생할 수 있으므로 전산화 단층촬영이나 자기공명영상 검사 등을 시행하여야 하고 종격동염 및 흉벽 농양 등과 같은 합병증 발생 시는 흉쇄 관절 절제술을 고려하여야 한다. 저자들은 감염 유발 소인이 전혀 없는 건강한 52세 남자에서 발생하였으며 균 배양 검사상 포도상구균으로 동정되었고 감수성 항생제인 cefminox(첫 4주는 정맥주사, 그 후 2주는 경구투여)만으로 치유되었던 일차성 흉쇄 관절 화농성 관절염에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

Background Aggressive treatment of sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) infection involves systemic antibiotics, surgical drainage and resection if indicated. The purpose of this paper is to describe a classification of post resectional SCJ defects and highlight our reconstructive algorithm. Defects were classified into A, where closure was possible often with the aid of topical negative pressure dressing; B, where parts of the manubrium, calvicular head, and first rib were excised; and C, where both clavicular, first ribs and most of the manubrium were resected. Methods Twelve patients (age range, 42 to 72 years) over the last 8 years underwent reconstruction after SCJ infection. There was 1 case of a type A defect, 10 type B defects, and 1 type C defect. Reconstruction was performed using the pectoralis major flap in 6 cases (50%), the latissimus dorsi flap in 4 cases (33%), secondary closure in 1 case and; the latissimus and the rectus flap in 1 case. Results All wounds healed uneventfully with no flap failure. Nine patients had good shoulder motion. Three patients with extensive clavicular resection had restricted shoulder abduction and were unable to abduct their arm past $90^{\circ}$. Internal and external rotation were not affected. Conclusions We highlight our reconstructive algorithm which is summarised as follows: for an isolated type B SCJ defect we recommend the ipsilateral pectoralis major muscle for closure. For a type C bilateral defect, we suggest the latissimum dorsi flap. In cases of extensive infection where the thoracoacromial and internal mammary vessels are thrombosed, the pectoralis major and rectus abdominus cannot be used; and the latissimus dorsi flap is chosen.

목적: 흉쇄관절에는 드물게 발생하는 화농성 관절염과 결핵성 관절염에서 조기에 흉쇄 관절의 완전한 절제와 철저한 변연 절제술을 시행하여 그 치료 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 9월에서 2008년 9월까지 본원에서 흉쇄관절에서 발생한 2예의 화농성 관절염과 1예의 결핵성 관절염에 대하여 수술적 치료를 시행한 환자들 세 예를 대상으로 진단 및 그 임상적 결과를 평가하였다. 결과: 1년 이상 추시한 단순 방사선 소견 및 혈액 검사상 염증의 소견은 호전되었으며, MRI소견상 원위 쇄골단과 흉골에 골부종과 함께 흉쇄 관절에 경도의 활액막염이나 액체 저류 소견 등이 관찰되었으나, 임상 증상은 호전되었으며 1년 이상 추시하여 더 이상의 재발 없이 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 결론: 흉쇄관절에서 화농성 관절염과 결핵성 관절염은 드물게 발생하는 질환으로, 진단 시 이미 흉쇄관절 주위의 골로 파급되어 골수염의 소견이 관찰되므로 조기에 흉쇄 관절의 골수염에 대한 완전한 변연 절제술과 철저한 소파술을 조기에 시행하여 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the changes of uptake around the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) according to 18F-FDG PET images in patients with head and neck cancer who underwent neck dissection. Materials & Methods: Retrospectively, the medical records of patients who received selective or comprehensive neck dissection were reviewed. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative 18F-FDG PET images, if available, were analyzed by nuclear medicine physicians in both qualitative and quantitative manners. Correlation between the changes of uptake around SCJ and perioperative data were statistically analyzed. Results: Thirty-seven patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Seven patients with increased uptake around SCJ on 1-year postoperative 18F-FDG PET showed a correlation with radical or comprehensive neck dissection, accessory nerve sacrifice, and high postoperative SUVmax. When 20 patients with increased uptake around SCJ according to quantitative measurement were compared with other patients without increased uptake, no parameter was significantly different, except postoperative SUVmax. Bivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the clinical symptom (shoulder or sternal pain) was significantly correlated with the extent of neck dissection (OR 0.227, CI 0.053-0.966, p=0.045) and spinal accessory nerve sacrifice (OR 13.500, CI 1.189-153.331, p=0.036). Conclusions: Increased uptake around SCJ on 1-year postoperative 18 F-FDG PET was correlated with either the radical or comprehensive procedure, as well as with accessory nerve sacrifice. This suggests that subjective analysis of 18F-FDG PET can be used to detect subclinical shoulder instability.

We report two cases of migration of K-wires from the acromioclavicular joint to the neck. A 73-year-old man complained of right shoulder pain for one month and had undergone orthopedic surgery because of acromioclavicular joint dislocation about 27 years earlier. Another 56-year-old man complained of left shoulder pain and neck pain for 5 years and had undergone orthopedic surgery because of acromioclavicular joint dislocation about 25 years earlier. In both cases, we took X-rays to look for the cause of shoulder pain and discovered broken and migrated K-wires in the neck. We removed the K-wires from the trapezius muscle and the paraspinal muscle respectively. K-wire fixation technique is simple and effective but should be followed up with X-rays periodically. In addition, we should warn patients of the possibility of migration of K-wire. And it is desirable for us to avoid using K-wire near major neurovascular structures like the sternoclavicular joint and the clavicle.

Background Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) osteomyelitis is a rare pathology requiring urgent intervention. Several operative approaches have been described with conflicting reports. Here, we present a multi-institutional study utilizing multiple surgical pathways for SCJ reconstruction. Methods A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study was conducted to identify patients who underwent surgical repair for sternoclavicular osteomyelitis between 2008 and 2019. Patients were stratified according to reconstruction approach: single-stage reconstruction with advancement flap and delayed-reconstruction with flap following initial debridement. Demographics, operative approach, type of reconstruction, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Results Thirty-two patients were identified. Mean patient age was 56.2±13.8 years and 68.8% were male. The average body mass index (BMI) was 30.0±8.8 kg/㎡. The most common infection etiologies were intravenous drug use and bacteremia (both 25%). Fourteen patients (43.8%) underwent one-stage reconstruction and 18 (56.2%) underwent delayed two-staged reconstruction. Both single and delayed-stage groups had comparable rates of reinfection (7.1% vs. 11.1%, respectively), surgical site complications (21.4% vs. 27.8%), readmissions (7.1% vs. 16.6%), and reoperations (7.1% vs. 5.6%; all P>0.05). The single-stage reconstruction group had a significantly lower BMI (26.2±5.7 kg/㎡ vs. 32.9±9.1 kg/㎡; P<0.05) and trended towards shorter hospital length of stay (11.3 days vs. 17.9 days; P=0.01). Conclusions Both single and delayed-stage approaches are appropriate methods with comparable outcomes for reconstruction for SCJ osteomyelitis. When clinically indicated, a single-stage reconstruction approach may be preferable in order to avoid a second operation as associated with the delayed phase, and possibly shortening total hospital length of stay.

Tietze's syndrome is an inflammatory condition associated with painful swelling of the costochondral, costosternal, and sternoclavicular joints. Tietze's syndrome has been mostly attributed to microtrauma until now; however, this etiology is currently disputed. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings, although a few studies suggest the advantages of imaging. We report a case of Tietze's syndrome with a review of radiological findings, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with dynamic contrast enhancement.
