  • Title: Iliopsoas abscess following catheterization of the femoral artery: diagnostic and treatment strategies.
    Author: Moran KM, Finkbeiner AA.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 1997 Jun; 26(6):446-8. PubMed ID: 9193700.
    Abstract:
    The following case is presented to illustrate the necessity of arthrotomy of the hip when an iliopsoas abscess lies adjacent to the hip joint capsule. Arthrotomy of the hip through a separate incision adds minimal morbidity, does not expose the hip to the abscess, and assures the surgeon that the hip has been debrided. This is important considering the 15% incidence of communication of the iliopsoas bursa with the hip joint.
