Purpose

In children presenting with irritable hip symptoms we wished to determine the incidence of hip septic arthritis, pathogen characteristics and the functional outcome.

Methods

Between May 2007 and January 2010, children presenting to our institution with irritable hip symptoms were eligible to participate. Exclusion criteria were history of trauma to the hip, systemic inflammatory diseases. Data collected included; demographics, clinical symptoms, temperature, haematological profile, ultrasound and culture reports, microorganism isolated and outcome. The minimum follow up was 6 months (6–24).
