Abstract

We report the case of a 29-year-old Japanese man with transient osteoporosis of the left hip (TOH) following contralateral TOH, paying special attention to the initial changes on MRI. MR images showed no abnormal findings 6 weeks before the clinical manifestation, but the images just after the onset depicted a linear abnormality equivalent to a subchondral insufficiency fracture. Both radiological findings and clinical symptoms disappeared completely without any surgical intervention within 10 months.
