Abstract
Hip pain is uncommon in children and imaging plays a central role in diagnosis and follow-up. The commonest cause of hip pain is acute transient synovitis. Other causes, which vary according to the age group of the child, include Perthes' disease and slipped capital femoral epiphyses. This review discusses the differential diagnosis and imaging pathways required.
