    Summary

    Early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric septic arthritis are crucial. Prompt intervention, including diagnostic puncture and decompressive arthrotomy, can prevent severe complications like coxa valga and femoral necrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Rheumatology
    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

    Context:

    • Septic arthritis in children is a serious condition requiring prompt management.
    • This review analyzes 15 pediatric cases, including purulent, tuberculous, and brucellar arthritis.
    • Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions were evaluated for their effectiveness and complication rates.

    Purpose:

    • To review the diagnostic and treatment outcomes of pediatric septic arthritis.
    • To identify factors contributing to complications in septic arthritis cases.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention, particularly for hip joint involvement.

    Summary:

    • Fifteen pediatric septic arthritis cases were reviewed, predominantly purulent arthritis (13 cases).
    • Diagnostic puncture was performed in all cases; arthrotomy with washing was used in five.
    • Antibiotic therapy lasted approximately six weeks, with two complications (coxa valga, capital femoral necrosis) linked to delayed diagnosis.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical need for early diagnosis in pediatric septic arthritis to avoid long-term joint damage.
    • Underscores the benefit of timely decompressive arthrotomy in managing septic arthritis, especially hip involvement.
    • Provides insights into the management and potential complications of various types of pediatric septic arthritis.
