Abstract

 Septic arthritis is a severe infection of the joints either by bacteria or fungi causing joint in ammation. It is a debilitating septic condition that can result in permanent disability and even loss of life and can be averted by timely diagnosis and prompt and aggressive intervention. This condition usually presents with a hot swollen painful joint, the diagnosis for which may be missed by a doctor who is not familiar with musculoskeletal diseases. Usually a rare condition in developed countries, it is a major health concern in developing countries. We report a case of a child who after a normal fracture sustained septic arthritis following a fracture in the wrist joint which proved fatal for him. The authors aim to increase the awareness about this unforeseen complication which might prove fatal if not treated adequately.

Keywords: Septic Arthritis; In ammation; Wrist Fracture; Bicycle Trauma.
