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

Developmental dysplasia of the hip:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Experts are uncertain about the causes of DDH. Dislocation is 10 times more common after breech delivery (malpositioning in utero) than after cephalic delivery, and it’s also more common among large neonates and twins. Females are affected more often than males. Genetic factors may also play a role.
Although DDH is found throughout the world, incidence is particularly high among Native Americans.
