Abstract

The authors report a rare complication of septic hip arthritis in a 4-year-old child. It is a detachment with sliding of the proximal femoral epiphysis in the thigh. This complication results from metaphyseal osteomyelitis. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient has very disabling sequelae. It is a therapeutic challenge.

bSeptic hip, detachment, migration, sequelae.
