Abstract

Suppurative arthritis refers to the joint suppurative inflammation caused by various pathogenic bacteria. Suppurative arthritis of the hip joint is a serious joint infection that often occurs in infants and adolescents. In recent years, the adult incidences of suppurative arthritis (especially in the elderly) are gradually increasing, account for more than 50% of suppurative arthritis, adults often occur in immunocompromised, alcoholism, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, lupus erythematosus, intravenous drug users, and rheumatoid arthritis. Due to the deep location of the hip joint and abundant surrounding muscles, children are often uncooperative for physical examination. The nerve that dominates the hip is multi-source. The symptoms vary widely, which often lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. If not recognized and treated properly the disease can cause stiffness of the joints and even disability.
