Transient osteoporosis of the hip after bariatric surgery
2019
Abstract Transient osteoporosis is a rare manifestation of acute hip pain which typically resolves with weight-bearing restrictions and pain management. Our case report presents a patient who experienced atraumatic right hip pain a few weeks after an uncomplicated bariatric surgery and was diagnosed with transient osteoporosis of the hip. Her condition resolved after weeks of protected weight-bearing restrictions and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. Transient osteoporosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hip pain in patients who have undergone previous bariatric surgery.
