Septic arthritis is a painful infection that affects the joints. Also known as infectious arthritis, the condition occurs when an infection (caused by bacteria or virus) spreads to a joint or the synovial fluid surrounding the joint. It can also occur when a penetrating injury delivers germs directly into the joint. Treatment for septic arthritis involves a combination of modalities to address pain and swelling. Commonly used treatment options include synovial fluid drainage, oral antibiotics, and physical therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, resting the joint and splinting the affected joints.
