Abstract
- Pyogenic arthritis of the shoulder joint is rare in adults and true paralysis associated with pyogenic arthritis is reported more rarely. We describe a case brachial plexus palsy associated with pyogenic arthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Weakness of upper extremity associated with pyogenic arthritis of shoulder is common and usually overlooked but differentiation from true paralysis of brachial plexus with electromyelogram is needed.
