Abstract
Twenty patients with bacterial arthritis with either delay in diagnosis or no response to treatment are presented. Synovectomy, even when performed after 5 days and up to 4 wk later, could prevent joint destruction in the knee but not in the hip. The average follow-up time was 5 (2-9) yr.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
