Iliopsoas abscess following catheterization of the femoral artery: diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 1997 Jun; 26(6):446-8.AJ

Abstract

The following case is presented to illustrate the necessity of arthrotomy of the hip when an iliopsoas abscess lies adjacent to the hip joint capsule. Arthrotomy of the hip through a separate incision adds minimal morbidity, does not expose the hip to the abscess, and assures the surgeon that the hip has been debrided. This is important considering the 15% incidence of communication of the iliopsoas bursa with the hip joint.
