What to do if i had septic hip arthritis when i was a baby, will i have problems in the future?

Maybe: If the infection caused damage to the hip you may experience an accelerated osteoarthritis.

Septic arthritis: If you have a normal x-ray of hip at 44 years old and no pain related to your hip it is unlikely the previous septic arthritis as a child will cause a problem.

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
