Hip injuries in runners are common and correct diagnosis often presents challenges. Transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) is a rare, self-limiting condition which is presented with acute onset pain, disability and antalgic gait with spontaneous recovery in 4–9 months.
TOH predominately affects middle-aged men, and diagnosis is made with MRI and plain radiographs demonstrates bone marrow oedema and bone demineralisation, respectively.
Awareness and early diagnosis are important, to exclude other more serious conditions like avascular necrosis that may be present in a similar way.
