Abstract

Septic arthritis of the elbow joint is a rare condition, frequently occuring in risk groups, such as patients with rheumatoid arthritis or implanted elbow prostheses. The diagnosis of a septic arthritis of the elbow joint is particularly challenging as there is no single diagnostic means that sufficiently enables a clear-cut diagnosis. Leading symptom is the painful swollen joint. Besides the clinical presentation and basic laboratory parameters, the number and type of leukocytes in the joint fluid have the greatest diagnostic value. In cases where a septic arthritis is suspected, immediate treatment is necessary to avoid a disastrous outcome.
