  • Title: Acetabular osteomyelitis in children.
    Author: Gamble JG, Rinsky LA, Bleck EE.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1984 Jun; (186):71-4. PubMed ID: 6723163.
    Abstract:
    The clinical, laboratory, and roentgenographic features of acetabular osteomyelitis were present in a 20-month-old boy and a five-year-old girl. The clinical and laboratory parameters were similar in extracapsular acetabular osteomyelitis and septic arthritis of the hip. A secondary effusion was evident in roentgenograms in both conditions. Acetabular osteomyelitis responded to selected intravenous antibiotic therapy. Septic arthritis of the hip required immediate surgical drainage as well as appropriate antibiotic coverage.
