- Abstract
Synovitis of knee due to unaware incident of splinter piercing is rare in adult. It is a case report of 30-year-old female with the painful knee in flexed attitude and had the swelling. History taking did not reveal any positive finding i.e., recent trauma, fever or any such previous episode. After the arthrotomy turbid synovial fluid with inflamed friable synovial thickening were seen. On further inspection there was a foreign body in the suprapateller pouch. It was removed and washed which was ultimately a splinter. Normal inflammatory marker and very mild sign and symptom of infection may provide weightage to this differential diagnosis. Arthrotomy and washing with antibiotic coverage can give the excellent result.
