Hip Pain: Differential Diagnosis
(In A Page: Pediatric Signs and Symptoms)

    • Septic arthitis
      –Surgical emergency due to irreversible chondrolysis and epiphyseal injury
      –Acute process leading to decreased hip range of motion, severe pain with passive range of motion
    • Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
      –Typically in obese, adolescent males with aching groin, hip, or knee
      –May have externally rotated hip position and gait
    • Legg-Calvé-Perthes
      –Presents at younger age than SCFE (3–8 years old)
      –Five times greater incidence in boys than girls
      –Pain in hip or knee, decreased active and passive ROM, and Trendelenburg gait
    • Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
      –Early diagnosis with newborn exam finding of easily dislocatable hip
      –Older infants have limited hip abduction
    • Osteomyelitis
      –Vague symptoms may make this a difficult diagnosis
      –Limp, fever, pain in the proximal thigh or pseudoparalysis of an extremity in an infant may be the only sign
    • Fracture
      –Consider accidental and nonaccidental trauma
      –Pain, limited ambulation, limited active and passive ROM, or inability to bear weight
    • Transient monoarticular synovitis
      –Often preceded 1–2 weeks by upper respiratory infection
      –Antalgic gait, moderate pain in hip, groin, or knee, and uncomfortable range of motion
    • Neoplasia
      –Although primary bone disorders do not generally present with hip pain, other malignancies such as acute leukemia may initially present with bone or joint pain
  • Vertebral osteomyelitis/diskitis
    –Referred pain from lumbrosacral region may present as hip pain

Dislocations and subluxations: Causes
(Handbook of Diseases)

A dislocation or subluxation may be congenital (as in congenital dislocation of the hip), or it may follow trauma or disease of surrounding joint tissues (for example, Paget’s disease). Gender also has an influence on injuries, especially of the knee (See Dislocations and subluxations in men and women, page 274.)
