Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's guide for Transient Synovitis of the Hip in Children.
Transient synovitis of the hip is an acute inflammatory condition of the inner lining of the hip. Transient means it is temporary and doesn't last long. Transient synovitis is also known as toxic synovitis or irritable hip.
This condition affects young children (boys more than girls) most often. In fact, it's the most common cause of acute hip pain in young children between the ages of three and 10. However, there are reports of transient synovitis in children less than one year old and in adults.
This guide will help you understand:
- how the condition develops
- how doctors diagnose the condition
- what treatment options are available
