Abstract :
Transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) is a benign, selflimiting condition characterised by acute onset groin pain in adults. Early diagnosis is important to differentiate it from
progressive conditions such as osteonecrosis. We report on a
middle-aged male who presented with right groin pain
without any prior trauma. The diagnosis of transient
osteoporosis of hip was confirmed by Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) and he was successfully treated with a course
of Alendronate sodium, anti-inflammatory analgesics and a period of non-weight bearing ambulation.
