Recommended treatment options for acute septic arthritis in children include repeated aspiration, open arthrotomy, and arthroscopic drainage. However, reports of arthroscopic treatment of septic arthritis of the hip in a child are rare. We experienced a case of arthroscopic management of acute septic arthritis of the right hip joint in a three-year-old child using a 30°, 2.7 mm arthroscope for the ankle joint through manual traction without use of a traction table. The patient had complete range of motion in the right hip joint two weeks after surgery and recurrent infection was not observed at the final follow-up two years postoperatively.

Abstract
Recommended treatment options for acute septic arthritis in children include repeated aspiration, open arthrotomy, and arthroscopic drainage. However, reports of arthroscopic treatment of septic arthritis of the hip in a child are rare. We experienced a case of arthroscopic management of acute septic arthritis of the right hip joint in a three-year-old child using a 30°, 2.7 mm arthroscope for the ankle joint through manual traction without use of a traction table. The patient had complete range of motion in the right hip joint two weeks after surgery and recurrent infection was not observed at the final follow-up two years postoperatively.
