Resumen

ALVAREZ LOPEZ, Alejandro; PUENTES ALVAREZ, Antonio  y  GARCIA LORENZO, Yenima. Relation of hip synovitis and Pérthes disease. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2004, vol.18, n.1. ISSN 0864-215X.

An observational explanatory study of 50 patients, diagnosed with and treated for transient hip synovitis in "Eduardo Agramonte Piña" provincial pediatric hospital in Camaguey from July to December 2002, was made. Male sex prevailed significantly with 68 % of patients. Age groups of highest incidence were up to 5 years old and 6 to 10 years-old groups. Both hips were affected to the same extent. Among the possible causative factors, we found upper respiratory infection and allergy. The most found symptoms were pain and claudication. Fabere´s maneuver was positive in 90 % of patients. 44 % of them required 10 to 15 days for their recovery. The most frequent complication was persistent claudication in 16 % of patients. The factors associated with Legg-Calvé Pérthes disease were over 6 years of age, relapse within 2 months or more and male sex. This disease was present in 12 % of patients.

Palabras clave : Transient hip synovitis; Legg-Calvé-Pérthes disease.
