•Knee septic arthritis confirmed by clinical and laboratorial exams, and age (patients aged 16 years or more were included). The clinical exam was considered positive for infection when there was pain, hyperemia, local warmth, joint swelling, or limited movement in walking. Synovial fluid collection by puncturing at admittance allowed diagnosis confirmation.

•Patients with chronic septic arthritis, i.e., for more than 15 days, fractures, chronic wounds or ulcers in the knee, septic diseases affecting more than one joint, morbidities affecting the ability to walk or to move the knee. Allergic patients or those who could not receive the standard antibiotic therapy for any reason were also excluded from the study.
