Injection drug use has become the most common risk factor for septic arthritis in our patient population. Septic arthritis in PWID is more often caused by MRSA, MSSA, and sp., and is more prone to involve the sacroiliac, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and facet joints. Synovial fluid cell counts of <50000 cells/mm are common in culture-positive septic arthritis.
