並列摘要

Septic arthritis relatively uncommonly involves the shoulder, so the
diagnosis is often difficult and delayed19. We report a 45-year-old woman with
right shoulder pain, initially misdiagnosed as right brachial plexus injury. The
correct diagnosis of septic arthritis was only made 6 months later, at which point
she had humeral head necrosis requiring hemiarthroplasty. With rehabilitation,
she regained a reasonable degree of function. However, early diagnosis and
treatment of the infection would have been preferable.
