Abstract

Case:In this report, we describe a case of delayed enteric fistula to the hip fusion mass, 30 years after the hip fusion surgery with confusing symptoms at presentation.Conclusion:Fistula formation between bowel and the hip joint after a hip surgery is rare. Enteroarticular fistula can be fatal because of sepsis. The enteric fistula to the hip joint diagnosis may not always be straight forward, and it should be kept in mind as a probable differential diagnosis in many unrelated scenarios. Complete physical examination, preoperative sampling, paying attention to the intermittency of secretions during starvation, and timely consult with general surgeons can help. © 2021 by the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.
