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.
