The surgeon should perform definite treatment for femoral neck fracture as soon as possible. The two-stage procedure is the treatment of choice in septic arthritis following femoral neck fracture.

Imaging in Septic Arthritis With Inflammatory Neuritis: Diagnosing a Rare Complication

“…Hearth et al reported two cases, while Colak et al recorded three, and Chewakidakarn et al reported one. The age range of the patients in all publications, ranging from 48 to 96 years old, was associated with immunocompromised hosts [ 3 - 5 ]. The 36-year-old man we treated had no co-morbidities and developed septic arthritis four weeks after the index surgery.…”

Septic Arthritis of the Hip Following Closed Acetabulum Fracture Treated Conservatively: A Case Report

“…Cases have been reported in the literature of patients with hip fractures who developed infectious arthritis while awaiting surgery. Chewakidakarn et al [8] described a case of a patient with a pathological fracture of the femoral neck, diagnosed 15 days after the initial trauma. The patient had no signs of local inflammation but had pain and was unable to walk, associated with increased inflammatory parameters in the laboratory.…”

Closed infected tibial plateau fracture and tibial tubercle avulsion: A case report

“…Infections rarely occur in closed fractures, but when they do are usually found in pediatric [ 1 ] or immunocompromised patients [ 2 , 3 ]. There are a few reports of closed fractures with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, notably three cases of closed humeral fracture [ 2 , 4 , 5 ], two cases of femoral fracture [ 6 , 7 ] and one case of patellar fracture [ 8 ]. Herein we report the case of an active adult patient who was diagnosed with combined acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in combined closed tibial plateau fracture and tibial tubercle avulsion.…”
