  • Title: Primary septic arthritis of the manubriosternal joint in a heroin user.
    Author: López-Longo FJ, Monteagudo I, Vaquero FJ, Martinez Moreno JL, Carreño L.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1986 Jan; (202):230-1. PubMed ID: 3955954.
    Abstract:
    A 20-year-old heroin user developed staphylococcus septic arthritis of the manubrium joint. The diagnosis was established by a culture of the infected tissue and blood culture. The clinical impression was aided by 99mTc radionuclide scintimetry. Early diagnosis localized the infection. Immediate antibiotic therapy solved a problem in the sternum that seems not to have been reported in the English literature.
