Abstract
The optimal duration of postsurgical antibiotic therapy for adult native joint bacterial arthritis remains unknown. After initial surgical lavage for septic arthritis, 2 weeks of targeted antibiotic therapy is not inferior to 4 weeks regarding cure rate, adverse events or sequelae and leads to a significantly shorter hospital stay, at least for hand and wrist arthritis.
