Abstract
in English, German

The diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic chondrolysis of the hips are described in the case of a 12-year-old girl. The patient presented with intermittent pain and extreme dysfunction of both hips. After clinical examination and pelvic X‑ray, MRI showed the typical changes of idiopathic chondrolysis. Purely conservative treatment with systematic physiotherapy and regular application of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug produced a good clinical result.

Am Fallbeispiel eines 12-jährigen Mädchens wird die Diagnose und Therapie einer idiopathischen Chondrolyse der Hüftgelenke beschrieben. Die Patientin stellte sich mit intermittierenden Schmerzen und hochgradigen Funktionsstörungen beider Hüften vor. Nach klinischer Untersuchung und Beckenübersichtsröntgenaufnahme zeigte die MRT die typischen Veränderungen einer idiopathischen Chondrolyse. Die rein konservative Therapie mit einer konsequenten physiotherapeutischen Behandlung und regelmäßigen Einnahme eines nichtsteroidalen Antirheumatikums hat ein gutes klinisches Ergebnis erbracht.
