If you have septic hip arthritis when you are a baby, will you have problems in the future?

Is there damage: If you have damage that cannot be healed you can have long-term consequences.

Maybe: Depending on the degree of damage from the infection specifically cartilage destruction you may be at risk for development of artirits in the hip. If xrays remain normal with out evidence of arthritis or an uneven joint surface it is unlikely after a significant amount of time has passed
