Abstract
- We examined the effect of preoperative antibiotic exposure and duration on synovial fluid samples from patients with native joint septic arthritis of the hip/knee. While exposure before diagnostic arthrocentesis did not affect fluid parameters, increased duration was associated with a decreased total nucleated cell count, underscoring the complex antibiotic effects on synovial fluid parameters.
