Septic arthritis of the knee joint has poor outcomes despite advances. Early, adapted treatment including aspiration and antibiotics is crucial for better functional results and avoiding complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Septic arthritis of the knee joint presents significant management challenges.
  • Antibiotics and arthroscopic surgery are key treatment modalities.
  • Retrospective review of 78 patients highlights variability in management practices.

Framework:

  • Management practices varied across surgical and rheumatology units.
  • Joint aspiration was common in rheumatology, while arthroscopy approaches differed among surgeons.
  • Arthroscopic washout was the first-line procedure for only 33 patients.

Implementation:

  • All patients received systemic antibiotics with diverse protocols.
  • Two patients died, and 34 required surgery, with half needing multiple operations.

  • Functional outcomes at 19 months were suboptimal, with limited pain-free joints and significant flexion contractures.

    • Implications:

    • High sedimentation rate, advanced Gächter stage, specific pathogens (MRSA, Gram-negative bacilli), and treatment failure predict poor prognosis.
    • A proposed algorithm emphasizes initial aspiration, medical treatment for non-synovitis cases, and reduction synovectomy otherwise.
    • Early, well-adapted treatment is critical for successful management of septic knee arthritis.
