Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Sternoclavicular joints (SCJ) represents an important factor in stability of shoulder joint. Its influence and its function is important for the functionality of the shoulder. SCJ infection is a rare condition and remains often mistreated and potentially life threatening.

This study is to assess the cases treated at the University Hospital Basel with a surgical approach of extended resection of the SCJ. One prospective follow-up visit inclusive one physical examination per patient will be performed to evaluate the long-term functional results of arm, shoulder, hand function with the QuickDASH questionnaire.
