Septic Arthritis of the Hip: An Arthroscopic Technique for Irrigation and Debridement.

Abstract

Septic arthritis of the hip poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, requiring prompt intervention to prevent long-term joint complications. This technique article shows a hip arthroscopic irrigation and debridement as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open arthrotomy. Our findings indicate that a hip arthroscopic irrigation and debridement technique could be effective to eradicate infection of the hip while preserving hip stability and function.
