    Abstract:
    Osteomyelitis of the clavicle or the sternoclavicular joint is a rare complication of subclavian vein catheterization. Soft tissue infections around the puncture site occur frequently and respond well to topical and antibiotic treatment. If symptoms persist for several weeks, osteomyelitis or sternoclavicular pyo-arthrosis should be considered. Bone and gallium scintigraphy scans and computerized tomography scans are helpful diagnostic measures.
