Successful treatment of septic arthritis include both anti microbial therapy and removal of intra-articular pus with surgical<unk> . Surgical or arthroscopic<unk>  will increase the risk of infections when compared to diagnostic arthroscopic procedures without further procedures. Infection rate depends on the type of procedure (open procedures 17% and arthroscopic procedures 11%), duration of the procedure and prior joint disease.
Surgical<unk>  options include:
Closed needle aspiration
Open drainage
Tidal irrigation
Arthroscopy
Arthrotomy
There is no specific guidelines for the surgical<unk>  but the efficacy of the surgical treatment depends on the clinical condition of the patient.
