Abstract
A case of rapidly destructive arthropathy of the hip in male siblings aged 74 and 76 years is reported. Hip joints of the brothers were destroyed 12 and 4 months after the onset of symptoms, respectively. Results of clinical and laboratory examinations did not show any features of neuropathic, inflammatory, or septic arthropathy. Pathologically in both patients, osteoarthrotic changes with small foci of bone necrosis and nonspecific inflammation and moderate amount of hemosiderosis in the synovium were observed.
