Dr. Chen Jian
Transient synovitis of the hip is a condition characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane in the hip joint. It commonly occurs in children and adolescents, although adults can also be affected. Its main symptoms include:
1. Hip joint pain: This is the most common symptom. The pain is usually a deep, sharp pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. The pain may radiate to the knee joint, a phenomenon known as referred knee pain.
2. Limited range of motion: The hip joint's range of motion may be reduced, especially when performing certain movements such as flexion, adduction, or rotation of the hip, which may cause difficulty or pain.
3. Limping: Due to pain and restricted movement, patients may develop a limp, which is particularly noticeable in children.
4. Swelling and warmth: The hip joint may appear swollen and may be accompanied by a sensation of local warmth.
5. Stiffness: Patients may feel stiffness in the hip joint, especially in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity, and it may take some time of movement to relieve the stiffness.
If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment immediately.
