In this episode of NP in Progress, I sit down with orthopaedic registrar Dr Dan Brimm to break down the septic joint ; a limb- and sometimes threatening diagnosis you can’t afford to miss.
We work through real ED cases, including a swollen knee after a “pimple squeeze” and a 30-year-old with a history of Intravenous drug use and severe wrist pain at 3am. We cover when to aspirate, when not to, why X-rays still matter, what bloods can and can’t tell you, and how metal in a joint changes your risk calculation.
We also talk bias, pain management, and the importance of collaboration between ED and ortho.
Practical. Case-based. No fluff
