Abstract

Seventy-five cases of children affected with septic arthritis for a total of 85 joints were followed-up after an average of 6 years and 9 months and evaluated according to Rigault clinical and radiographic criteria. Prognosis of the disease was related to age (less favorable results during neonatal age), to the joint affected (the hip and shoulder obtained the worst results, the knee the best), and to delay in diagnosis. Early and suitable surgical treatment associated with systemic antibiotic therapy is required.
