Popis: Atraumatic Posterior dislocation of hip is an unusual presentation for septic hip in an infant, reported by only few studies in literature. Septic arthritis in the hip of an infant warrants special emphasis, for diagnosis is often delayed, making the prognosis and later management perhaps different from septic arthritis in other joints. We present a rare presentation of septic hip in an infant and its management by combined and posterior drainage of hip joint with its outcome. © 2011 IGJPS. All rights reserved
