notas clínicas0 condrolisis idiopática de cadera. Evolución a largo plazo Idiopatic chondrolysis of the hip. Long-term follow-up of a case s. García-Mata, o. Jiménez sarmiento, J. Duart clemente, a. Hidalgo ovejero REsuMEn La condrolisis idiopática de cadera es una rara condición que se presenta durante la adolescencia. Se caracteriza por dolor y cojera producidos por una pérdida acelerada del cartílago articular con una dis-minución del grado de movilidad llegando a rigidez. La historia va desde la resolución espontánea completa a la anquilosis. El tratamiento recomendado actualmen-te es el conservador. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente de 11 años de edad con un cuadro clínico de 2 años de evolución tórpida de dolor inguinal izquierdo acompañado de cojera y rigidez. Se instauró reposo, descarga, analgésicos y rehabilitación sin mejoría ini-cial. Posteriormente recibió tratamiento conservador con AINE, periodos de descarga de la extremidad, tracción blanda hospitalaria, tracción ambulatoria nocturna y rehabilitación, recuperando la movilidad y marcha normal 6 años después del inicio de los sín-tomas. Catorce años más tarde el paciente hace una vida normal, asintomático y con movilidad simétrica de ambas caderas. Palabras clave. Condrolisis. Idiopática. Cadera. Rigi-dez. Tratamiento conservador. abstRact Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is a very rare disease occurring during adolescence. Pain and limp are the most common symptoms and are a consequence of an accelerated loss of the articular cartilage with a lower range of movement producing rigidity in the last instance. The natural history is unpredictable and varies between complete and spontaneous recovery and the ankylosis. The current recommended treatment is conservative, restricting the surgical option for residual stiffness. A clinical case of an eleven year old patient is presented. He consulted for a 2 year, torpid course of left groin pain with limp and rigidity. He received treatment with rest, discharge, analgesics and rehabilitation without any improvement initially. He was treated conservatively with NSAIDS, extremity discharge periods, soft traction in the hospital and at home and rehabilitation, recovering mobility and normal gait 6 years after the beginning of the symptoms. Twelve years after the onset of the symptoms the patient leads a normal life without symptoms and has a symmetric range of motion of both hips.
