What is septic arthritis?
The word septic means infected; septic arthritis is an infection in the joint. Somehow, the joint becomes infected and can cause severe pain. Although it can happen in any joint, the knee is the one that is most often affected.
It is vital that this type of arthritis be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the joint.
