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. The following step of joint aspiration with an appropriate treatment must be made in a short time period. Clinical predicting tools and optimal drainage techniques for paediatric septic arthritis were evaluated in recent systematic reviews. After the drainage procedure it is important to monitor the clinical and laboratory outcomes.
