Core Tip	This article provides an up-to-date evidence-based review on the diagnosis and treatment of paediatric septic arthritis. Acute septic arthritis in children is an orthopaedic emergency. It can be a diagnostic challenge, especially in young children. Accurate history, physical exam, laboratory findings and imaging can contribute to the diagnosis of septic arthritis.
