Résumé
A 16-year-old male adolescent presented with 4 weeks of right-sided hip pain and fever in the setting of recent groin trauma. He was diagnosed with septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis (SAPS) and was treated nonoperatively with antibiotics. Symptoms recurred, and he underwent surgical drainage of the pubic symphysis followed by a prolonged course of antibiotics. Follow-up at 12 months indicated complete symptom resolution. This is the ninth reported adolescent case of SAPS. Although the presentation and disease course closely resembled those reported in the literature, this is the only case that required surgical intervention after failed nonoperative management.
