This paper describes 18 patients (18 joins) with pyogenic arthritis of the knee who underwent treatment at our department. The common causes were steroid injection into the knee joint and open injury, which were noted in 4 and 3 patients, respectively. The commonest causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus, which was isolated in 10 patients. Drainage by aspiration + washing, curettage, arthroscopic debridement, arthroscopic debridement + continuous washing + CPM were used for treatment in 8, 4, 2, 2, and 1 of the patients, respectively.The surgical outcome was relatively favorable in patients with a duration of illness ≤ 1 week in whom X rays revealed no bone change at the first visit or mobilization therapy was initiated early. Arthroscopic surgery, with the advantages of low invasiveness and relatively easy removal of inflammatory exudate and debris from the joint, was considered to be effective for early cases with few bone changes.
