Abstract: There are many diseases in childhood that affect the hip joint. Some diseases are systemic\nin origin and initially may present themselves as hip disorders, such as rheumatoid\narthritis. other diseases are localized specifically in the hip joint, such as transient\nsynovitis and Perthes' disease, mostly unilateral. Neoplastic or infectious diseases around\nthe hip joint may also manifest themselves as a painful hip.\nIf both hips are affected the differential diagnosis should include skeletal dysplasias\n(multiple epiphyseal dysplasia) and metabolic diseases (hypothyroidism, Gaucher's\ndisease, mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses).
