摘要：

Septic arthritis of the knee is the most common form of septic arthritis in children and can lead to irreversible damage to the joint. Staphylococcus aureus is the primary pathogen associated with septic arthritis, although other causative pathogens may be isolate in children with specific risk factors. The diagnosis of knee septic arthritis is based on comprehensive evaluation, including the patient's medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and arthrocentesis. Empirical treatment typically involves anti -staphylococcal penicillin or a first-generation cephalosporin, although modifications may be made based on local resistance patterns and clinical culture data. Surgical debridement, either through open surgery or arthroscopy, involving extensive debridement of the joint, is effective in eliminating the infection. In most cases, additional surgical intervention is not necessary.
