Abstract
|
|
|
|
Rapid destructive hip osteoarthritis is a rare subset of osteoarthritis with rapid destruction of the hip joint within months of the onset of symptoms. The entity simulates rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, neuropathy or malignant bone tumor. We report a case of rapidly destructive coxarthrosis of the right hip joint initially misdiagnosed as a malignant bone tumor at outside hospital in a 80-year-old woman.
