Abstract

Hip arthritis is a therapeutic emergency which requires sure diagnosis and pus evacuation. Two methods are presently in use: isolated or oriterative punction and arthrotomy. A Pleurocath is introduced under general anesthesia and under fluoroscopic control by an obturator approach. It contains a perforated trocart which allows a flexible catheter, perforated over the last few centimeters to be inserted. The introduction point must be as far posterior as possible, in the plane of the anterior border of the femoral neck to promote declivious downward. It allows for pus evacuation, confirmation of the diagnosis and bacteriological samples to be taken. The lavage is done using ionized polyvidone dilution in physiological saline solution. The catheter is inserted in the center of the trocart and pushed intra-articularly under fluoroscopic control. The trocart is pulled out. The catheter is fixed on the skin using non resorbable thread. An occlusive dressing is made. A three way cock is installed for aspiration and lavage. Drainage is declivious. This percutaneous drainage technique was used in three cases of septic hip arthritis in children. Treatment associated drainage, immobilization by traction and double or triple intravenous a...Continue Reading
