Acute septic arthritis in infancy and childhood.
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 1990 August
Despite intensive study of acute septic arthritis in infancy and childhood, poor outcomes continue to occur. Failures are often due to delayed diagnosis and inadequate therapy, but can be due to factors beyond physicians' control such as associated osteomyelitis and occurrence during infancy. Recent advances in the understanding and management of septic arthritis include: (1) demonstration of beneficial effects of continuous passive motion in rabbits; (2) identification of inflammatory mediators of cartilage destruction and their respective sources; (3) recognition of changing patterns of pathologic organisms; (4) evolution of new antibiotics and standards for oral and home intravenous therapy; (5) development of arthroscopic debridement of septic knees; and (6) further refinement of indications for aspiration-irrigation versus open surgical drainage of septic joints. Permanent sequelae from septic arthritis can only be prevented by early diagnosis and aggressive treatment.
