Abstract

Hip pain in an adolescent is a common complaint, with a myriad of possible diagnoses, and can range from straightforward conditions with a good prognosis to severe conditions with a poor prognosis, either for the future of the hip or the life of the patient. Many of the conditions overlap with the school-age child. This chapter will address only those not discussed in that chapter.
