Predicting the presence of adjacent septic arthritis in children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis
Our study successfully identified several risk factors and radiologic signs associated with concomitant septic arthritis in patients with AHO. These findings can assist clinicians in early recognition and management of coexisting infections, especially in situations where MRI is not readily available or when its findings are inconclusive. Timely identification of these factors is crucial for appropriate treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
