Use of Arthroscopy in Treatment of Acute Pediatric Septic Hip Infection
Sponsor: Hesham Mohamed Elbaseet
Summary
Acute septic hip infection in pediatric population is a true orthopedic surgical emergency that require early diagnosis and prompt management. Open surgical debridement and drainage of the hip through lateral approach is the gold standard method of treatment. Usage of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of such condition has been in clinical practice for more than 30 years. However, literature is still lacking in actual prospective comparison about the outcome of both methods.
