ABSTRACT
Septic arthritis (SA) is a type of joint inflammation caused by an infection. It is an orthopedic emergency that requires immediate treatment to avoid serious complications such as joint destruction, osteomyelitis, and sepsis. We present a case of bilateral knee SA in a seven-month-old female who presented to our emergency department with left knee SA, followed by right knee SA one month later.
ABSTRACT
Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovial joints and tendon sheaths that typically manifests as a painless, firm, localized, and slow-growing mass. Commonly seen among women in the third to fifth decades, GCTTS can be diagnosed clinically; however, histopathological confirmation is required. The tumor is primarily removed surgically. Recurrence after excision is possible and occurs in up to 45% of cases.
