[Bilateral idiopathic chondrolysis of the hips - A case report of an adolescent patient]. Orthopade. 2020 Feb 12;: Authors: Schumann E, Kübler FB, Roth C, Heyde CE, Roth A Abstract The diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic chondrolysis of the hips are described in the case of a 12-year-old girl. The patient presented with intermittent pain and extreme dysfunction of both hips. After clinical examination and pelvic X‑ray, MRI showed the typical changes of idiopathic chondrolysis. Purely conservative treatment with systematic physiotherapy and regular application of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug produced a good clinical result.
