Abstract

We present a case of isolated intra-acetabular osteochondroma in a 21 year-old male who presented with history of right hip pain for 5 years and difficulty in walking. Patient was managed with excision of intra-articular exostoses through surgical hip dislocation. Intra-articular hip osteochondromas can be a rare cause of hip pain in patients with unexplained etiology, and their diagnosis and management can be challenging.
