Common Topics

Hip pain is common in children and adolescents and has a broad range of causes, ranging from the benign to the potentially devastating. Transient synovitis, one of the most common causes of hip pain in children, must be differentiated from septic arthritis. Hip pain may be caused by conditions unique to the growing paediatric skeleton including Perthes, slipped capital femoral epiphysis and apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis as well as growth related disorders.
