Abstract

The hip is a critical joint and is susceptible to a range of pathological processes throughout childhood. Failure to recognize hip pathology early may lead to severe pain and disability, ultimately necessitating total hip arthroplasty. It is important for the primary care physician to be aware of the common presentations of hip pathology and to differentiate the potentially serious and life-changing, such as Perthe's disease or slipped femoral capital epiphysis, from relatively minor or developmental problems such as transient synovitis or femoral anteversion. Guidance on key history and examination points, appropriate treatment and indications for referral are discussed.
