C - reactive protein predicts proximal femur osteomyelitis in suppurative hip arthritis

Compared with simple suppurative arthritis of the hip, C-reactive protein was higher in suppurative hip arthritis with osteomyelitis of the proximal femur. C-reactive protein > 47.04 mg /L can predict the possibility of suppurative hip arthritis accompanied by proximal femur osteomyelitis, and it is recommended that such children should undergo MRI in time.
