Surgery was found to be curative with good results for those patients with SCJ infection that did not respond to a full course of intravenous antibiotic therapy. Surgical options include incision and drainage, curettage or SCJ resection. The type of surgical procedure depends on the radiological findings, presentation, severity of the infection and intra-operative findings. In our experience, complex muscle flap reconstruction was not necessary following SCJ resection.
