    Author: Desrochers A, Francoz D.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 2014 Mar; 30(1):177-203, vii. PubMed ID: 24534665.
    Abstract:
    Synovial fluid, ultrasound, and radiographic imaging are common diagnostic tools for septic arthritis. Mycoplasma septic arthritis is suspected in calves with clinical signs of otitis and pneumonia. Commonly affected joints are carpus, stifle, and tarsus. Treatment strategy must include long-term antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and joint lavage. Knowledge of communication and boundaries for commonly affected joints is essential to perform joint lavage and arthrotomy.
