Risk Factors for Failure to Eradicate Infection after Single Arthroscopic Debridement in Septic Arthritis of a Native Knee Joint
Comorbidity of DM, history of previous injection, isolated <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in synovial fluid, and high Gachter stage were associated with a higher risk of failure to eradicate infection with a single arthroscopic procedure. Empirical glycopeptide administration also showed no significant benefit in reducing the risk of additional surgical procedures for infection control, suggesting against the routine administration of glycopeptide.
