Özet
Septic arthritis is a common joint infection in neonates and young children. Since osteoarticular infections cause permanent disability in bones and joints, they should be treated appropriately as soon as possible. If there is a delay in starting treatment it can cause severe morbidity. It is most common in the hip and shoulder joints. In this article the surgical treatment process and postoperative clinical status of a 35-year-old patient with severe coxarthrosis and 12 cm femoral shortening due to septic arthritis are reported. To avoid damage to neurovascular structures an extremity lengthening procedure was performed first, followed by a total hip replacement. In order to complete the distraction and consolidation phase in one session and to reduce complications, a growing intramedullary nail was selected. As a result of the surgical interventions, the complaints of the patient in the hip joint and the limping due to shortness of the leg decreased and the performance of activities of daily living was improved.
