AB Septic  arthritis  can  lead  to  significant  morbidity  if  not  treated  in  a  timely  manner.Because  the  history  and  physical  examination  has  limitations,  arthrocentesis  should  be  performed  in  anyone  suspected  of  having  a  septic  arthritis.A  combination  of  the  patient's  presentation,  risk  factors,  and  synovial  fluid  tests  determine  appropriate  management  decisions.
