Abstract
|
|
|
|
Septic arthritis of the shoulder joint in a neonate is very rare. Damage to the growth plate and ossification center of the proximal humerus may lead to disability of the shoulder joint. Therefore, early diagnosis and proper treatment are very important. We treated septic arthritis of the shoulder joint in a 9-day old newborn baby by arthroscopic irrigation and debridement using a 2.4 mm wrist arthroscope instrument. We could achieve a satisfactory result by inspecting the inside condition of the joint directly, removing granulation tissues and debris and washing out the joint by arthroscopy.
