The battle over these 17 Aboriginal skeletons illustrates a growing tension that has developed in recent years between the demands of scientific rationality and the desires of cultural identity. At the heart of the debate is the issue of who owns knowledge. Museums and research institutions across the world house hundreds of thousands of bones, skulls and skeletons, largely collected over the past two hundred years, and often in unsavoury circumstances.
Knee arthrocentesis may be done via a parapatellar approach (which is generally preferred), , a suprapatellar approach, or an infrapatellar approach. Once the insertion site is chosen, prepare the skin with sterile solution, allow drying, and then drape.
In a prospective, controlled study comparing open arthrotomy and arthroscopic drainage for the treatment of early septic arthritis of the hip in children, arthroscopic drainage was found to be effective and was associated with fewer days in the hospital than arthrotomy was (3.8 days and 6.4 days, respectively).aily joint aspirations are usually required until the joint cultures are negative. The knee joint is probably the joint that is most amenable to repeated aspirations. Most cases of uncomplicated septic arthritis of the knee can be treated satisfactorily by means of repeated closed needle aspirations.
