Acute right knee pain with fever, warmth, erythema, swelling, limited active and passive range of motion, and degenerative imaging findings is evaluated in a 62-year-old woman with major comorbidities including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and diabetic foot ulcers. Arthrocentesis shows cloudy synovial fluid with marked leukocytosis dominated by polymorphonuclear cells and no crystals or bacteria on visualization, supporting septic arthritis. Management prioritizes immediate intravenous antibiotics and adequate drainage via serial needle aspiration to clear purulent material.
