The first case of septic arthritis described in literature by Walter Whitehead in 1902, as "The open method of treating exceptional cases of septic arthritis of the knee" and the cultural techniques of blood and synovial fluid to diagnose septic arthritis described by Robert N. Nye in 1924.[1][2]

Historical Perspective

  • First case of septic arthritis described in literature by Walter Whitehead in 1902, as "The open method of treating exceptional cases of septic arthritis of the knee".[2]
  • An experimental and clinical Study on arthritis deformans described by Nathan PW in 1917.[3]
  • Surgical management of septic arthritis by By Captain W. Rankin in 1917.[4]
  • A. Mackenzie Forbes, described first case of septic arthritis in infant in 1923.[5]
  • Streptococci as the cause of septic arthritis is first described in 1924.[6]
  • Cultural techniques of blood and synovial fluid to diagnose septic arthritis described by Robert N. Nye in 1924.[1]
