Article Synopsis
- A 12-year-old boy experienced worsening lumbar pain and limited movement in his lower spine, but initial X-rays did not show any issues.
- A CT scan later revealed structural changes in the L3 vertebra and a paravertebral abscess, leading to the diagnosis of spondylitis linked to a coagulation-negative Staphylococcus aureus infection.
- Following surgery, antibiotic therapy was adjusted due to antibiotic resistance, and after 15 weeks, the patient showed significant improvement with a full range of motion and no complaints, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment in children.
The authors present their experience in the revision surgery of THR. Most often it was the case of aseptic loosening of the acetabulum, the femoral component or both components (67 %), lytic radioluscence or even lysis in the region of implants, fissures even fractures of the femur and septic loosening.
