🦵 Red, swollen, painful knee… should you tap it?
POCUS can help you quickly identify:
✅ Joint effusion
✅ The safest aspiration site
✅ The best approach before placing the needle
⚠️ But remember: ultrasound alone cannot diagnose septic arthritis. Fluid analysis is still essential.
Don’t just ask “Is there fluid?”
Ask “Where is the safest place to go?”
📚 Learn. Scan. Apply.
