Abstract
Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is a rare disorder characterized by pain, stiffness, limp and radiological loss of joint space of the affected hip. The clinical outcome varies from complete recovery to fibrous ankylosis. Management remains controversial. We aim to outline the natural history and pathology of the disease and treatment strategies.
