Comparison of Sociodemographic and Radiographic Features in Distal Radio Fracture Treatment: Hand Surgeons versus Non-specialists.

Objective: This study evaluated sociodemographic and radiographic features of patients with distal radial fractures treated at a trauma hospital in southern Brazil, comparing those treated by hand surgery specialists (group 1) and non-specialists (group 2). Methods: This study consists of a retrospective cohort of 200 patients treated in 2020. After reviewing medical records and radiographs, the following parameters were analyzed: age, gender, trauma mechanism, laterality, associated comorbidities and fractures, fracture classification (AO), radial height, radial inclination, and volar inclination. Comparison of the two groups used the Student t-test, chi-square test, or Fisher exact test. Results: Most subjects were women (54%), sustained low-energy traumas (58%), and were left-handed (53%). Group 1 had a lower mean age (50.2 years); most of their subjects sustained high-energy trauma (54%) and had type C fractures (73%); type A fractures prevailed in group 2 (72%). Radiographs showed a significant difference regarding the mean radial inclination (21.5° in group 1 and 16.5° in group 2 [ p < 0.001] in women, and 21.3° in group 1 and 17° in group 2 [ p < 0.001] in men) and volar inclination (10.1° and 12.8° in groups 1 and 2, respectively [ p < 0.001]). In addition, the absolute number of cases with reestablished anatomical parameters per the three evaluated variables was also significantly different; all parameters were better in group 1. Conclusion: Hand surgeons treated the most severe fractures and had the best radiographic outcomes.

Effectiveness and Health Outcomes of Collaborative Nurse Prescribing for Patients Anticoagulated with Antivitamin K in Primary Care: A Study Protocol.

The development of collaborative nurse prescribing (NP) in Andalusia (Spain) in 2018 gives us the opportunity to measure the impact of this practice. Scientific evidence indicates that prescribing is not more costly when performed by nurses and, in fact, is more economical in some cases. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of NP on the effectiveness, health outcomes and adverse events related to prescribing including in the follow-up of patients treated with antivitamin K oral anticoagulants in primary care (PC) by nurses. The design is a randomized clinical trial. The population comprises 1208 anticoagulated patients in 2019. The sample size calculation considers an alpha error of 0.05, a power of 99% and an effect size of 0.5, resulting in 127 users per group. Therefore, a total sample of 254 participants is needed. However, as the project intends to treat patients it will include the universal sample that meets the criteria in the two health centers participating in the study, with 575 participants in total. Data collection was carried out in the PC District of the Alamillo-San Jerónimo Clinical Management Unit of Sevilla for one year from January 2020. Data analysis is performed using the SPSS Statistics 25 package. We intend to study if nurse collaborative prescription in the follow-up and management of patients taking antivitamin K oral anticoagulants in PC is as effective as the traditional approach to follow-ups carried out by a family physician.

MODIFIED SALTER PELVIC OSTEOTOMY FOR THE DDH TREATMENT.

Objectives: Three pelvic osteotomies (Salter, Dega, Pemberton) are widely used in walking patients under seven years old for DDH treatment. We've proposed a modified Salter Pelvic Osteotomy (SPO), which has the advantages of the abovementioned osteotomies. Methods: Short- and mid-term results were assessed in 19 patients after the modified SPO application. Patients were examined before and after the surgery, at 6 months postoperatively, and at follow-up. Results: Acetabular Index (AI) before the surgery was 39.5 ± 7 °; after the surgery - 24.4 ± 5.5 °, at 6 months - 20.4 ± 5 ° (9-28), at follow-up - 14.5 ± 4 °; AI correction - 14.9 ± 5.5 °. Lateral Centre-Edge Angle at follow-up - 22.7 ± 4.7 °. Clinical results at follow-up were I / II McKay grade in 18 patients (94.7%); radiological results were I / II Severin class in 18 patients (94.7%). Conclusion: Modified SPO improves the FH coverage in any direction; results after modified SPO are excellent and good in most patients. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series .

Descumprimento da ética médica em publicidade: impactos na responsabilidade civil / Non-compliance with medical ethics in advertising: impacts on civil liability / El incumplimiento de la ética médica en la publicidad: impactos en la responsabilidad civil

Resumo Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre a obrigação médica em decorrência da violação das regras éticas de publicidade em medicina, em especial quando veiculada nas mídias sociais. Por meio do método dedutivo, será discutida a natureza jurídica da obrigação do profissional, que, via de regra, se dá como obrigação de meio. Entretanto, a discussão surge quando o conteúdo da mensagem publicitária e a forma como é veiculada possibilitam transformar essa obrigação em obrigação de resultado, alterando então a natureza jurídica de essência do médico. Para viabilizar o debate, com base em revisão bibliográfica, este artigo expõe a possibilidade de o profissional responder civilmente por violações éticas relativas à publicidade médica e ao comprometimento do consentimento informado, ou seja, se o médico induz resultado, que ele seja responsabilizado por não alcançar o desfecho proposto.

Abstract This article reflects on medical obligation due to the violation of the ethical rules of advertising in medicine, especially when published on social media. Using the deductive method, the legal nature of a professional's obligation will be discussed, which, as a rule, is an obligation of means. However, the discussion arises when the content of the advertising message and how it is conveyed make it possible to transform this obligation into an obligation of result, thus changing the legal nature of the physician's essence. To enable the debate, based on a literature review, this article exposes the possibility of the professional being civilly responsible for ethical violations related to medical advertising and the impairment of informed consent, that is, if the physician induces results, that he is liable for not achieving the proposed outcome.

Resumen Este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre la obligación médica derivada de la violación de las normas éticas de la publicidad en medicina, especialmente cuando se difunde por las redes sociales. Con base en el método deductivo se discutirá la naturaleza jurídica de la obligación del profesional que, en general, se da como obligación de medios. Sin embargo, se plantea la discusión cuando el contenido del mensaje publicitario y la forma como se difunde permiten convertir esta obligación en una obligación de resultado, modificando así la naturaleza jurídica de la esencia del médico. Para facilitar el debate, y con base en una revisión bibliográfica, este artículo expone la posibilidad de que el profesional sea civilmente responsable de las violaciones éticas relacionadas con la publicidad médica y con el compromiso del consentimiento informado, es decir, si el médico induce un resultado, debe ser responsable de no lograr el resultado propuesto.

Interventions to Reduce Stigma Toward People with Severe Mental Disorders in Ibero-America: A Systematic Review / Intervenciones para reducir el estigma hacia personas con trastornos mentales graves en Iberoamérica: una revisión sistemática / Intervenções para reduzir o estigma em relação às pessoas com transtornos mentais graves na América Latina: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract Introduction: The main goal of the present review was to systematically compile data on interventions to reduce stigma in Ibero-America. Aim: To describe the characteristics and determine the main results of interventions required for reducing stigma toward people with severe mental disorders that have developed in the Latin America during 2007-2017. Materials and methods: A systematic review of articles from electronic databases such as Medline, EBscohost, Embase, LILACS, and SciELO, as well as gray literature from Google Scholar, published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese covering the period during January 2007 and December 2017 was performed. In order to evaluate the quality of the quantitative studies, the Robins criteria were used for quasi-experimental and experimental studies, and the cASpe criteria were used for qualitative studies. Results: A total of 18 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected; 75% of the studies were quantitative in nature, of which, one-quarter did not meet the quality criteria. Conclusions: Currently, there are only a few interventions established to reduce stigma in Ibero-America and they are mainly short-term. Our evaluation of the available literature facilitates the identification of the aspects that should be included in future research in order to reduce the possible biases that could arise when developing these types of studies.

Pleurectomía parietal y decorticación pulmonar por cirugía torácica asistida por video (VATS) monopuerto versus toracotomía / Parietal pleurectomy and pulmonary decortication by single-portvideo-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) versus thoracotomy

Introducción. El avance de la cirugía torácica abierta a cirugía torácica asistida por vídeo por tres puertos, y sus posteriores efectos en la recuperación de los pacientes, conllevó al desarrollo de la técnica por un solo puerto, que ha mostrado beneficios en el postoperatorio.El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los resultados postquirúrgicos de los pacientes sometidos a pleurectomía parietal y decorticación pulmonar toracoscópica asistida por video monopuerto y los obtenidos por toracotomía convencional, en una clínica de cuarto nivel, entre 2016 y 2019. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo, en el que se incluyeron 79 pacientes llevados a pleurectomía parietal y decorticación pulmonar por toracoscopia asistida por vídeo monopuerto y 25 pacientes operados por toracotomía convencional. Se evaluaron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y postoperatorias. Se utilizaron las pruebas de Chi2 o de Fisher y las pruebas t de Student y Mann Whitney. Resultados. La mediana de edad fue menor en el grupo de pacientes operados por toracotomía convencional (28 años, RIC: 26­48, p=0,0005). No hubo diferencia en los tiempos quirúrgicos. Se encontró menor intensidad del dolor y disminución en los días con tubo de tórax, uso de antibióticos, días de UCI y días de estancia hospitalaria en el grupo de pacientes operados por toracoscopia asistida por vídeo monopuerto (p<0,05). Discusión. Este estudio refuerza la tendencia de mejores resultados postquirúrgicos, menos días de uso del tubo de tórax, uso de antibióticos, necesidad de UCI y días de estancia hospitalaria general con la técnica asistida por vídeo monopuerto comparado con la toracotomía abierta convencional

Introduction. The advancement from open to video-assisted thoracic surgery through three ports, and its sub-sequent effects on the recovery of patients, led to the development of the single port technique, which has shown benefits in the postoperative period. The objective of this study was to compare the postsurgical results of patients undergoing parietal pleurectomy and video-assisted single-port thoracoscopic pulmonary decortication to those obtained by conventional thoracotomy, in a fourth level clinic, between 2016 and 2019.Methods. Descriptive study, in which 79 patients underwent parietal pleurectomy and pulmonary decortication by single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy and 25 patients operated by conventional thoracotomy were included. Sociodemographic, clinical and postoperative variables were evaluated. The Chi-square or Fisher tests, and the t Student and Mann Whitney t tests were used.Results. The median age was lower in the conventional thoracotomy group (28 years; IQR: 26-48; p= 0.0005). There were no differences in surgical times. Lower pain level, and a decreased in days with chest tube, antibiotic use, need for ICU and of hospital stay were reported in the single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy group compared to conventional thoracotomy technique (p < 0.05). Discussion. This study reinforces the trend of better postsurgical results, fewer days of chest tube use, use of antibiotics, need for ICU and days of general hospital stay with the single-port video-assisted technique compared to conventional open thoracotomy

Método Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, somada aos artigos sugeridos no site e livro do MOHO. Resultados Localizaram-se 14 periódicos, totalizando 26 publicações com o uso do OPHI-II, a maioria delas posteriores a 2010, sendo a mais recente de 2017. Identificaram-se sete países de estudo, com destaque para Estados Unidos e Austrália, sem pesquisas conduzidas no Brasil. Em sua maioria, a abordagem escolhida foi a qualitativa, com metodologia baseada na análise temática do discurso. Há diversidade em relação à população estudada e ao modo de aplicação do OPHI-II, podendo combinar ou não os seus três elementos (entrevista, curva narrativa e escalas). Conclusão O OPHI-II se mostrou como um instrumento relevante tanto na prática clínica como para a pesquisa, o qual possibilita a combinação de outras escalas de avaliação e tem sido utilizado em diversas populações e áreas do campo da terapia ocupacional.

Abstract Introduction The "Occupational Performance History Interview" - II (OPHI-II) was developed to be the initial assessment for occupational therapists who work under the perspective of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). This instrument can be applied as an interview script to gather information about a client's occupational performance, enabling the therapeutic plan and measuring its effectiveness. Objective To review the publications about the OPHI-II in occupational therapy regarding the purpose and methods of its use, and to discuss its contributions to clinical practice and its perspectives for application in Brazil. Method This is a scoping review performed in the databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library. We also search in grey literature such as the MOHO book and its website. Results We identified that in 14 of overall 26 publications using the OPHI-II, most of them were published after 2010, and the newest was in 2017. Seven countries were identified in those publications, mainly the United States and Australia, but no Brazilian study was observed. Mostly, the chosen approach was qualitative, based on thematic content analysis. The population studied was diverse and also the methods of application of the OPHI-II, combining or not its three elements (i.e. interview, narrative curve, and scales). Conclusion OPHI-II shows to be a relevant instrument both in clinical practice and research, which allows the combination of other assessment scales and has been used with a range of clients in fields of practice in occupational therapy.

Correlações entre a Participação Ocupacional, Independência e Cognição em Adultos com Deficiência Física / Correlation among Occupational Participation, Independence and Cognition in Adults with Physical Disabilities

RESUMO: A participação ocupacional é uma questão crucial para a atenção à pessoa com deficiência e caracteriza-se pelo grau de participação de uma pessoa em várias ocupações, tais como as de autocuidado, trabalho, escola, lazer, dentre outras. O objetivo deste estudo foi, assim, verificar se a participação ocupacional avaliada pelo Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST Brasil) apresenta correlações com as medidas de independência funcional e de cognição em adultos com deficiências. Foram avaliadas 41 pessoas com deficiência física usando o MOHOST Brasil, a Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF) e o Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM). A subescala motora da MIF apresentou correlação moderada com o fator de habilidades motoras MOHOST (r 0,586 p = 0,001). O item "Linguagem e práxis" do MEEM apresentou correlação moderada com o fator "habilidades de processo" do MOHOST (r 0,573 p = 0,001). As correlações entre o MOHOST e a MIF e entre o MOHOST e o MEEM mostram que há relação entre as dimensões de participação, desempenho e habilidades, confirmando que o MOHOST é útil para avaliar a participação ocupacional de pessoas com deficiências físicas. Conclui-se também que o MOHOST pode fornecer dados que possam contribuir para o planejamento de intervenções que estimulem a participação ocupacional em diferentes papéis no âmbito da Terapia Ocupacional e na sua inferface com a Educação Especial.

ABSTRACT: Occupational participation is a crucial issue for people with disabilities care and it is characterized by the degree of a person's participation in various occupations, such as self-care, work, school, leisure, among others. Thus, this study's objective was to examine if the occupational participation measured by Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST Brazil) has correlations with measures of functional independence and cognition in adults with disabilities. Forty-one (n=41) people with physical disabilities were assessed using the MOHOST Brazil, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The FIM's motor subscale presented moderate correlation with the MOHOST motor skills factor (r 0.586 p=0.001). The MMSE's item "Language and praxis" presented moderate correlation with the MOHOST's factor "process skills" (r 0.573 p= 0.001). The correlations between the MOHOST and FIM and between the MOHOST Brazil and MMSE show there is an inter-relation between the dimensions of participation, performance and skills, confirming that the MOHOST is useful for assessing occupational participation of people with disabilities. It is also concluded that MOHOST can provide information that can contribute on planning interventions to support occupational participation in different roles for Occupational Therapy and its possibilities of work in the field of Special Education.

Successful therapeutic approach in a patient with elephantiasic pretibial myxedema

Abstract Localized pretibial myxedema is a dermopathy whose treatment is a challenge in dermatology, occurring in 0.5-4% of patients with Graves' disease. This autoimmune thyroid condition stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans that are deposited particularly in the pretibial region. Clinically, it presents as a localized, circumscribed, and non-depressible infiltrate in plaques. Several treatment modalities have been proposed, and their results vary, with worse response observed in severe cases. This report presents the case of a patient with elephantiasic pretibial myxedema who was subjected to intralesional corticosteroid applications, resulting in an excellent and encouraging therapeutic response that was maintained.

Intervenciones farmacológicas para el tratamiento de la Enfermedad por Coronavirus (COVID-19) / Pharmacological interventions for the treatment of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

RESUMEN Varios fármacos han sido propuestos como alternativas terapéuticas para COVID-19. Se efectuó una búsqueda sistematica en MEDLINE (vía PubMed) hasta el 20 de marzo de 2020, con el fin de identificar la evidencia disponible sobre intervenciones farmacológicas para tratamiento específico de COVID-19. 947 publicaciones fueron identificadas y 15 estudios seleccionados: 3 ensayos clínicos, 5 series de casos y 7 reportes de casos. La calidad de la evidencia procedente de ensayos clínicos fue evaluada según la metodología GRADE. La evidencia existente para hidroxicloroquina, favipiravir y lopinavir/ritonavir procede de ensayos clínicos que reportan resultados favorables para los dos primeros fármacos en tanto que no se observó ningún beneficio al adicionar lopinavir/ritonavir al tratamiento estándar. Sin embargo, debido a las limitaciones metodológicas, la evidencia es de muy baja certeza para hidroxicloroquina y de baja certeza para favipiravir y lopinavir/ritonavir. Respecto al uso de arbidol interferón, o el uso combinado de estos con lopinavir/ritonavir, la evidencia es limitada ya que deriva de serie de casos o reporte de casos con resultados no determinantes. No se identificaron estudios que permitan determinar la eficacia y seguridad de intervenciones farmacológicas frente a COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Several drugs have been proposed as therapeutic alternatives for COVID-19. An electronic systematic search of MEDLINE (via PubMed) was carried out until March 20th 2020, in order to identify the available evidence on pharmacological interventions for specific treatment of COVID-19. The quality of the evidence from clinical trials was evaluated according to the GRADE methodology. 947 publications were identified and 15 studies were selected: 3 clinical trials, 5 case series and 7 case reports. The existing evidence for hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir and lopinavir/ritonavir comes from clinical trials reporting favorable results for the first two drugs, while no benefit was observed when lopinavir/ritonavir was added to standard treatment. However, due to methodological issues, the evidence for hydroxychloroquine is very low. For favipiravir and lopinavir/ritonavir the evidence is low. Regarding the use of arbidol interferon, or the combined use of these with lopinavir/ritonavir, the evidence is limited since it derives from case series or case report with non-determining results. No studies were identified that reliably demonstrate the efficacy and safety of any pharmacological intervention against COVID-19.

Anterior Glenohumeral Instability: Systematic Review of Outcomes Assessment Used in Brazil.

A review involving the six major international orthopedic journals has been published recently. It described the tools used for the evaluation of outcomes in the surgical treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. There are no studies that exhibit the main outcome tools for this disease in Brazil. The authors evaluated the outcomes of clinical studies involving anterior glenohumeral instability that were published in the last decade in the two leading Brazilian orthopedic journals, Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia and Acta Ortopédica Brasileira . A review of the literature was performed, including all clinical papers published between 2007 and 2016 describing at least one outcome measure before and after surgical intervention. The outcomes were range of motion, muscle strength, physical examination testing, patient satisfaction, return to sports, imaging, complications, and functional outcomes scores. Twelve studies evaluating the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for anterior shoulder instability were published. Ten studies (83%) were case series (level of evidence IV), 1 (8%) was a case-control study (III), and 1 was a retrospective cohort (III). On average, the number of outcomes assessed was 3.7 ± 1.7. The Rowe score was used in 9 studies (75%), and 7 (58%) papers used the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) scale. Ten studies (83%) reported complications related to surgical treatment. The complication most frequently reported was recurrent instability, found in 9 studies (75%). The national studies have preferentially used scales considered to be of low reliability, responsiveness, and internal consistency.

Resumo Uma revisão que envolveu as seis principais revistas ortopédicas internacionais foi publicada recentemente. A publicação descreveu as ferramentas usadas para a avaliação dos desfechos no tratamento cirúrgico da luxação anterior recidivante do ombro. Não existe um levantamento que mostre as principais formas de avaliação para essa doença no Brasil. Os autores avaliaram os desfechos usados nos estudos clínicos que envolveram a instabilidade glenoumeral anterior e que foram publicados na última década nos dois principais periódicos ortopédicos brasileiros, Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia e Acta Ortopédica Brasileira. Foi feita uma revisão da literatura na qual foram incluídos todos os artigos clínicos publicados entre 2007 e 2016 que descreveram ao menos uma medida de desfecho antes e após intervenção cirúrgica. Os desfechos avaliados foram amplitude de movimento, força muscular, testes de exame físico, satisfação, retorno ao esporte, exames de imagem, complicações e escalas clínicas. Foram publicados 12 estudos que avaliaram os resultados clínicos do tratamento cirúrgico da instabilidade anterior do ombro. Dez estudos (83%) eram séries de caso (nível de evidência IV), 1 (8%) caso-controle (III), e 1 coorte retrospectiva (III). A média de desfechos avaliados por estudo foi de 3,7 ± 1,7. A escala Rowe foi usada em 9 estudos (75%), e 7 publicações (58%) usaram a escala da University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Dez estudos (83%) relataram as complicações relacionadas ao tratamento cirúrgico. A complicação mais frequentemente relatada foi a recidiva da luxação glenoumeral, encontrada em 9 estudos (75%). Os estudos nacionais usaram preferencialmente escalas consideradas de baixa conficabilidade, responsividade, e consistência interna.

Artrotomía versus artroscopia en el tratamiento de artritis séptica en rodilla / Arthrotomy versus arthroscopy in the treatment of septic knee arthritis

INTRODUCCIÓN. La artritis séptica aguda de rodilla puede provocar daño grave en las articulaciones o sepsis, si no se logra un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, lo que incluye drenaje de la articulación, cobertura adecuada de antibióticos y reposo de rodilla. Clásicamente, el drenaje de la rodilla se realiza con múltiples artrocentesis o con artrotomía. El abordaje artroscópico es cada vez más aceptado, pues permite el drenaje adecuado del material purulento y el desbridamiento con la sinovectomía parcial o total de la articulación. OBJETIVO. Evaluar las diferencias entre la artroscopia y la artrotomía en los resultados clínicos y la tasa de recurrencia en pacientes con artritis séptica de la articulación de rodilla. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS. Revisión de 20 artículos científicos de los últimos 5 años de publicación. Además se analizó los artículos seleccionados para este estudio, como criterios de inclusión se revisaron los que contenían recomendaciones acerca de artrotomía vs artroscopia en el tratamiento de la artritis séptica aguda, excluyendo otro tipo de procedimientos quirúrgicos. RESULTADOS. Se hizo una selección aleatoria de artículos científicos. No existió diferencia en la efectividad del tratamiento en ambos grupos. El dolor fue más alto en los sometidos a tratamiento por artrotomía a los 7 y 14 días postoperatorios. El regreso a las actividades de la vida diaria tomó un promedio de 5,7 días para ambos grupos: 7,1 días para el grupo de artrotomía y 4,3 días para el grupo de artroscopia. CONCLUSIÓN. Esta revisión recolectó información sin evidencia concluyente que demuestre que la artroscopia es más efectiva en el manejo de la artritis séptica. La artrotomía se mantiene como terapéutica estándar en el tratamiento de la artritis séptica de rodilla.

INTRODUCTION. Acute knee septic arthritis can cause serious joint damage or sepsis if early diagnosis and treatment is not achieved, including drainage of the joint, adequate antibiotic coverage and knee rest. Classically, the knee is drained with multiple arthrocentesis or arthrotomy. The arthroscopic approach is increasingly accepted, since it allows adequate drainage of purulent material and debridement with partial or total synovectomy of the joint. OBJECTIVE. To assess the differences between arthroscopy and arthrotomy in clinical outcomes and the recurrence rate in patients with septic arthritis of the knee joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Review of 20 scientific articles of the last 5 years of publication. In addition, the articles selected for this study were analyzed, as inclusion criteria were reviewed, which included recommendations about arthrotomy vs arthroscopy in the treatment of acute septic arthritis, excluding other types of surgical procedures. RESULTS A random selection of scientific articles was made. There was no difference in the effectiveness of the treatment in both groups. The pain was highest in those undergoing arthrotomy treatment at 7 and 14 days postoperatively. The return to activities of daily life took an average of 5,7 days for both groups: 7,1 days for the arthrotomy group and 4,3 days for the arthroscopy group. CONCLUSION. This review collected information without conclusive evidence demonstrating that arthroscopy is more effective in the management of septic arthritis. Arthrotomy remains the standard therapy in the treatment of septic knee arthritis.
