Abstract
in English, French

Coxalgia is one of the most common painful complaints in orthopedic surgery. The management of a "traumatic" hip is relatively well codified, however atraumatic coxalgia is more difficult to diagnose and explore. The history and a well-conducted clinical examination are essential for the management of coxalgia. The diagnosis is already well oriented by a simple X-ray and the presence or absence of inflammatory signs on the blood test. This article aims to provide a guideline for the diagnostic approach to coxalgia.

La coxalgie est une des plaintes douloureuses les plus fréquentes en chirurgie orthopédique. La prise en charge d’une hanche «traumatique» est relativement bien codifiée, par contre les coxalgies atraumatiques sont plus difficiles à diagnostiquer et explorer. L’anamnèse et un examen clinique bien conduit sont primordiaux pour la prise en charge de la coxalgie. Le diagnostic est déjà bien orienté par une simple radiographie et la présence ou non de signe inflammatoire à la prise de sang. Cet article vise à donner une ligne de conduite à la démarche diagnostique face à la coxalgie.
