Hip osteoarthritis is an important public health issue and has a global age-standardised prevalence of 0.85% and more prevalent in females. The leading cause of secondary hip osteoarthrosis is the congenital hip disease. If promptly detected, the chances of the congenital hip disease developing into osteoarthritis are lower with the correct management. Various classification systems exist, while Crowe’s system is one of the most frequently used. Groin pain is the most common symptom, accompanied or not by limping, while range-of-motion is usually preserved. Radiology findings are typically enough for diagnostic purposes, although alternative diagnostic procedures are available. The management of the disease include osteotomies and total hip replacements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
