Idiopathic Chondrolysis of the Hip Treated by Immunosuppressive Therapy and Arthroscopic Intervention.

We present the case of a 10-year-old girl diagnosed with ICH based on arthroscopic inspection and synovium biopsy. The femoral deformity appeared gradually, like a cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. She was treated with intensive rehabilitation and immunosuppressive drug. We later performed an arthroscopic bumpectomy for residual symptoms. She achieved a favorable outcome as a 15-year-old at the latest follow-up. PMID: 32099253 [PubMed - in process]
