Septic hip diagnosis, management?

Aspiration culture: To diagnose septic arthritis you need to be able to identify bacteria in the joint; in the early stages lavage of the joint and antibiotics can help; in the more advanced cases would need surgery. In children injury to the growth plate is something that is worrisome.
