Treatment of Septic Knee Arthritis: Comparison of Arthroscopic Debridement Alone or Combined With Continuous Closed Irrigation-Suction System

Abstract

The early diagnosis and aggressive initiation of treatment carried the success of therapy in septic knee arthritis. Arthroscopic debridement combined with continuous closed irrigation-suction system is an effective treatment for patients with septic knee arthritis; these patients had fewer operations and a shorter hospital stay than did patients who had received arthroscopic debridement alone.
