Home » Acute Septic Arthritis Treatment in Indore
Acute septic arthritis, also known as infectious arthritis, is a serious condition characterized by inflammation of a joint due to bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. It most commonly affects the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, or wrist joints, and can occur in people of all ages, including children. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent irreversible joint damage and systemic complications.
Treatment for acute septic arthritis typically involves a combination of antibiotic therapy and drainage of the infected joint fluid. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove infected tissue or debris from the joint. The choice of antibiotics depends on the suspected causative organism and may be adjusted based on culture and sensitivity results. Pain management and physical therapy may also be recommended to improve joint function and mobility during recovery.
At Little Bones, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint infections, including acute septic arthritis. Our team of experienced orthopedic surgeons and infectious disease specialists works together to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s specific needs. With state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities and a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to achieve optimal outcomes and minimize the risk of complications associated with bone and joint infections.
Symptoms may include joint pain, swelling, redness, warmth, fever, chills, and difficulty moving the affected joint.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, joint fluid analysis, blood tests, imaging studies (such as X-rays or MRI), and sometimes joint aspiration for culture and sensitivity testing.
Risk factors include a compromised immune system, previous joint trauma or surgery, preexisting joint conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis), intravenous drug use, and certain medical conditions (such as diabetes or HIV).
With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, most patients recover fully without long-term joint damage. However, delayed treatment can lead to joint destruction, chronic arthritis, systemic infection, and even life-threatening complications.
