RESUMEN

This case report emphasizes the critical nature of septic arthritis in pediatric patients, particularly its predilection for large joints like the hip. It underscores the importance of rapid diagnosis and early intervention to preserve joint function. The case involves a six-year-old patient with sickle cell anemia who presented with persistent hip pain and hip subluxation and underwent hip joint arthrotomy. Clinical findings revealed limited mobility, weakness, and radiographic abnormalities. Comprehensive rehabilitation resulted in significant improvements in pain, mobility, and function. The key takeaway is the pivotal role of early diagnosis and comprehensive rehabilitation in managing septic arthritis in pediatric patients, especially those with underlying conditions like sickle cell anemia.
