case_images: Interim bone scan (Figure 1) and MRI (Figure 2) showed a probable focus of osteomyelitis within the left anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and small bilateral effusions concerning for superimposed septic arthritis.
case_images: T2 weighted MRI demonstrating a hyperintense focus in the left superior acetabular rim and hip effusion and capsular edema consistent with osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.

case_images: Interim bone scan (Figure 1) and MRI (Figure 2) showed a probable focus of osteomyelitis within the left anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and small bilateral effusions concerning for superimposed septic arthritis. Bone scintigraphy confirmed activity at the left AIIS (Figure 2).
case_images: Postoperative radiograph demonstrating first-stage cemented total hip replacement with 48/32 mm Stryker RimFit Acetabular cup and size 9 Biomet Simplex cement spacer.

case_images: However, due to interval radiological changes (Figure 4) and right-sided pain at follow-up, a first-stage right hip arthroplasty was performed (Figure 5).
