Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a self-limited condition of uncertain etiology and pathogenesis that affects young and middle aged adults. Even its clinical features are similar to the features of osteonecrosis the prognosis and clinical end result are quite different. So differential diagnosis between the two is very important.
