Idiopathic Chondrolysis of the Hip ( ICH): Report of three Cases
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Idiopathic Chondrolysis of the Hip (ICH) is a rare condition, occurring mostly in black female adolescence. It is characterized by the rapidly progressive destruction of articular cartilage in the hip joint resulting in premature degeneration and subsequent joint arthrosis. We report three cases of ICH: a 13-year old boy presented with left knee pain, an 11-year old girl with right hip pain and a 12-year old girl with right thigh pain. All of them had the same characteristic radiographic findings. The initial treatment was started conservatively. Surgical treatment was performed in one patient in order to confirm diagnosis and correct deformity.
