Abstract
- Treatment of pyogenic arthritis in hip joints in adults usually required debridement through early arthrotomy. However, domestically arthroscopic management is not widely performed. Recent development of operation techniques and equipments helped to improve the value of arthroscopic approach and its diagnostic value and therapeutic usefulness. We report the clinical results from the 4 cases of pyogenic arthitis of hip joint in adults treating with arthroscopic irrigation and debridement.
