TRANSIENT OR TOXIC SYNOVITIS

It is the inflammation of the lining of the hip joint. It mostly occurs after the child has had a cold or upper respiratory tract infection mostly of viral cause. It is also called irritable hip and is one of the common cause of limping in children.

DDH(Devolepmental dysplasia of hip)

It is a congenital anomaly which occurs due to the abnormality in the development of hip joint. The top of the femur does not fit correctly into the acetabulam or hip socket. It can cause slipping of femur either partially or completely.

JIA(Juvenile idiopathic arthritis)

It is an autoimmune disorder which results in inflammed, swollen joints which are often stiff and painful. Since it is of autoimmune origin, the treatment is only supportive.
