Localisations atypiques des infections ostéo-articulaires : sacro-iliaque, symphyse pubienne, sterno-claviculaire, acromio-claviculaire

Abstract

Diagnosis and Treatment of peripheral septic arthritis have been recently updated thanks to new French recommendations published in 2020. “Peripheral arthritis” means shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers for the upper limb, and groin, knee, ankle, and foot and toes for the lower limb. Nevertheless, some specific joint localization connected with axial skeleton can also be involved by bone and joint infections, and their management can be slightly different. This is because of different mechanical problems, different microbiological environment and different type of patients. In this monography, we focus on four “axial-peripheral” joints: sacroiliac joint, pubic symphysis, sternoclavicular joint and acromioclavicular joint.
