Transient #Osteoporosis of the Hip in Non-Pregnant Woman by Amelia de Almeida in BJSTR

Abstract

Introduction: Transient #osteoporosis of the hip is an uncommon condition characterized by pain in the hip and pronounced #osteopenia of the femoral head and neck. TOH is a self- limiting condition typically associated with the third trimester of the pregnancy. The authors present a case of transient osteoporosis of the hip that was complicated by a pathologic neck fracture. A 26-year-old woman, non-pregnant, was present with a history of right hip pain after minor #trauma. Radiographs showed fracture of right neck #femur and a severe osteopenia. She underwent closed reduction and internal fixation of the right hip without complications. In follow-up at 3 months, the patients referred hip pain and the #radiography showed non-union #fracture. Before excluded diagnosis of #oncologicdisease, she was submitted a new surgery. In follow up at 4 years, the hip pain and limited #mobility in right hip was persisting.
