Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report the case of a 21-year-old man with acute septic arthritis of the knee after meniscal allograft transplantation, which was successfully treated with repeated arthroscopic debridement and irrigations. Our procedures included arthroscopic debridement and irrigation with 10L normal saline, repeated arthroscopic irrigations (5 times), and intravenous antibiotics. Our decision to repeat the debridement was based on clinical and laboratory results. The significance of this case is that early aggressive arthroscopic debridement and repeated irrigations as part of a treatment protocol of acute septic arthritis after meniscal allograft transplantation can be an effective treatment option in selected cases.
