Infectious arthritis, often affecting a single joint, requires early diagnosis via arthrocentesis to prevent severe joint damage. Advanced imaging aids in timely detection of this common clinical issue.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Infectious arthritis is a frequent clinical challenge caused by various pathogens.
  • Joint involvement occurs through hematogenous spread, contiguous infection, direct implantation, or post-operative contamination.
  • Typically presents as monoarticular arthritis with swelling, erythema, and pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mechanisms, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and complications of infectious arthritis.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnostic arthrocentesis.
  • To discuss the role of advanced imaging in early diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of infectious arthritis mechanisms and clinical presentation.
  • Discussion of radiographic differential diagnoses.

  • Highlighting the utility of arthrocentesis and advanced imaging (scintigraphy, CT, MRI).

    • Main Results:

    • Radiographic findings may be delayed, including soft tissue swelling, joint space loss, osteopenia, and osseous erosions.
    • Early arthrocentesis is crucial for preventing complications like ankylosis and osteomyelitis.
    • Advanced imaging techniques can facilitate earlier diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential for managing infectious arthritis.
    • Arthrocentesis remains a key diagnostic tool.
    • Advanced imaging modalities improve the detection of infectious arthritis, especially in early stages.
