| Core Tip |
Septic arthritis is a diagnostic challenge and requires a methodical approach. The atypical course and rarity of septic arthritis of the manubriosternal joint are due to its anatomy (symphysis): The cartilaginous joint does not have a typical synovial lined capsule. Radiological imaging plays the most important role in the diagnosis. Chest X-ray and computed tomography is the least specific in the early stages. Superb microvascular imaging allows for clearer detection of synovial hypertrophy and slow flow vascularity at the early and late stages of the disease than power Doppler. Magnetic resonance imaging helps to exclude abscesses in cases with high inflammatory markers or sepsis. |
