Coke is an inflammation of the hip joint. Children are susceptible to two forms of coxitis - acute and tuberculous. The main difficulties of hip joint treatment in children are associated with acute course of the disease, the presence of severe pain and other symptoms characteristic of adult patients, but manifested in a strengthened form.

Symptoms and treatment of tuberculosis coxitis

This disease is the mosta common form of specific coxite. The main lesion is localized in the kidneys, lungs and other organs. As a result, mycobacterium tuberculosis is carried along the body along with blood and affects the acetabulum, neck and head of the thigh. There is a destruction of the synovial membrane and the joint ends of the bones. As a result, a dislocation with displacement may occur, and the joint cavity will begin to fill with pus, which subsequently leads to the formation of fistulas and stubby abscesses. At the initial stage of the disease the baby complains of pain in the leg: he starts walking, limping. The body temperature rises. In the future, motor activity is further limited, and pain is increasing. The muscles atrophy, and the subcutaneous tissue of the thigh begins to thicken. In the absence of timely treatment of cocitis in children, pain disappears, and destructive manifestations persist. As a result, a hip dislocation of a pathological type occurs. Treatment of the disease is carried out in a hospital with the use of specific anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy and orthopedic measures. General strengthening therapy, clearly observed regime with the use of bandages for a long period (2-3 months) contribute to a speedy recovery.

Symptoms and treatment of acute coxitis

Acute purulent coxite is characterized by acutebeginning and rapid current. The main sign of this form of the disease is osteoporosis. In the future, the joint gap narrows, there is destruction of the articular surfaces of the head of the femur and other bones that form the acetabulum. Such nonspecific coke can develop within a few days. Less often the process takes from several weeks to several months. The child's organism reacts to intoxication with an increase in body temperature and a change in the blood formula. Treatment is carried out exclusively in the hospital. The priority task in this case is the use of antibacterial agents and sulfanilamide preparations. If necessary, the doctor can decide on resection of the hip joint. After surgery, immobilization is shown. Great importance is attached to the establishment of a functionally advantageous position of the limb.
