Pediatric septic hip sequelae represent a challenging condition to the treating surgeons with conventional femoral and pelvic osteotomy being difficult to solve advanced head and neck destruction. Surgeons usually resolve to pelvic support osteotomy which is technically demanding and may require revision if performed before skeletal maturity. We report a 10 years old girl which had sequelae of septic coxitis Hunka type IVb, the patient was treated by a C-shaped pertrochanteric and Salter osteotomy and by applying Ilizarov methods of distraction histogenesis we did reduction and gradual lengthening of the femoral neck stump which was adapted to the acetabular cavity at last assessment, the clinical and radiographic parameters had improved significantly at 14 years long term follow-up and the patient was able to walk painlessly and without support. The case represents an introduction to an alternative surgical technique which makes future joint replacement more feasible.

When a child with a hip problem is clinically evaluated, it is usually possible to make a presumptive diagnosis which is subsequently confirmed. The most important tool for confirmation in pediatric hip disorders is radiological imaging. Vice versa changes on sonogram, native X‑ray or magnetic resonance images (MRI) can often only be interpreted when the history and current clinical findings are known.

Clinical/methodical Issue: Differentiating between septic arthritis and transient synovitis can be challenging but is very important as a late diagnosis of septic arthritis can lead to sepsis and joint damage. For correct diagnosis and prediction of complications, the right combination of physical examination, laboratory and radiological studies is needed.
Standard Radiological Methods: Hip ultrasound is easy to learn and has a high sensitivity for joint effusion.

Background: Radiologic care for children and adolescents during night and weekend shifts is challenging. This is especially true when a dedicated pediatric radiology front or background service is not available.
Methods: The purpose of this review is to present the approach, the most relevant diagnoses, and their differential diagnoses based on four common example cases - abdominal pain, respiratory/chest pain, headache, and refusal to walk.

Treatment of bacterial septic arthritis in the native adult hip joint can be challenging. Prompt diagnosis and treatment decisions can reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.For this systematic review of the literature, we asked: (1) What are the treatment options? (2) What are the success rates and the outcomes after treatment? (3) Which antibiotic and duration of therapy are optimal?We searched the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Embase using the search terms "hip" or "native hip" and "septic arthritis" or "coxitis".
