Abstract
A case of osteochondromatosis of the hip is presented. A 56-year-old man was first seen in November 1978, complaining of pain and stiffness of the right hip of ten years' duration. There were moderate thigh muscular atrophy and some restriction of the hip movement. Surgical explosure was made through a Hütter approach, and ten pieces of free bodies were removed from the joint with partial synovectomy. Eleven months after operation, the patient was very pleased with his surgical result, because of no pain and a little restriction of the hip movements only. There were no recurrence of loose bodies and no evidence of osteoarthritis of the hip joint on X-rays.
