Transient Osteoporosis of Hip in A Middle-Aged Man by Gaurav Sharma in BJSTR
Abstract
Introduction: Transient Osteoporosis of Hip is a benign, acute onset, self-limiting disorder of unknown aetiology commonly seen in
middle aged men and pregnant females.
Case Report: We report a case of acute onset sharp pain in
right hip in a physician without history of antecedent trauma. The
diagnosis
of Transient Osteoporosis of Right Hip was made based on clinical and
MRI findings. The probable cause can be attributed to long standing
working condition. There was complete resolution of symptoms by
conservative treatment in the form of analgesics and non-weight bearing.
Conclusion: Conclusion: High level of suspicion should be kept
in mind when dealing with patients with sudden onset non-traumatic
joint pain to avoid
unnecessary investigations and surgeries.
