Abstract

Destructive septic arthritis is currently a pathology that has been considered one of the most dangerous forms of arthritis and that ends up becoming a medical emergency, due to the high percentage of morbidity and mortality that it causes. Destructive septic arthritis is a challenge for the medical profession because of its incidence in extreme ages of life and the high rate of resistance to antibiotic therapy. The low socioeconomic level and the previous injuries to the contusion type are among the most frequent risk factors. This case study presents a patient who comes to the emergency room due to pain at the shoulder joint, functional impotence and localized phlogistic signs, which is diagnosed as advanced destructive septic arthritis. Magnetic resonance is used as the optimal diagnostic method, owing to its high sensitivity to identify the musculoskeletal system of the affected joint, allowing an early diagnosis and avoiding future complications. The objective of this study is to show the methods used in an optimal diagnosis according to the presentation of the symtoms of a patient with septic arthritis.
