Hi,
Inflammation and collection of fluid in hip joint is suggestive of inflammation of the synovial lining of the hip joint. The inflammation could be infectious or non-infectious.
As you have mentioned that the joint had abscess which suggests that there is a bacterial infection. I suggest you to consult your treating orthopedics for treatment of recurrence of infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
