“…These patients did not present with any other joint involvement or systematic clinical findings. This observation aligns to some extent with the existing literature, which suggests that up to 10% of septic arthritis cases with unknown causes could stem from hematogenous spread [35,36].…”

Background and Objectives: Hand septic arthritis is a potentially debilitating condition that can significantly affect patient functionality and quality of life. Understanding the demographic, clinical, and microbiological characteristics of this condition is crucial for its effective treatment and management. : This study aimed to analyze the demographic and clinical profiles of patients with hand septic arthritis, to identify common microbial pathogens, and to evaluate the impact of various factors on clinical course and treatment outcomes. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study examined patients diagnosed with septic arthritis of the hand, focusing on their demographic data, clinical presentation, causative organisms, treatment methods, and outcomes. Data on age, sex, cause of infection, affected sites, surgical interventions, microbiological findings, and patient outcomes were also collected. Results: This study found a higher prevalence of septic arthritis in males and identified bite as the predominant cause. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen. A large number of patients did not exhibit bacterial growth, and bacterial resistance did not significantly affect the outcome. Outcomes were statistically influenced by the timing of medical presentation and the presence of comorbidities. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for effective management of hand septic arthritis. This study underscores the need for a comprehensive approach that considers patient demographic and clinical characteristics to optimize treatment outcomes. Awareness and preventive measures are essential to reduce the incidence and severity of this condition.

Die MRT-Untersuchung der Hand erlaubt eine umfassende bildgebende Diagnostik dieser anatomisch und funktionell komplexen Region. Die Erkennung der klinisch relevanten Pathologien setzt eine optimierte Lagerung- und Untersuchungstechnik voraus, ggf. auch in Verbindung mit einer intravenösen oder intraartikulären Kontrastmittelgabe. In diesem Artikel werden die verschiedenen Untersuchungsstrategien bei MRT-Diagnostik der Hand beschrieben und ein Überblick über typische Pathologien gegeben.
