Abstract
<p>Idiopathic chondrolysis is an uncommon condition defined by the complete loss of femoroacetabular articular cartilage in a child with no previous trauma, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, infection, or extended immobilisation. Because of the gradual onset of symptoms, escalating radiographic abnormalities, and the lack of a diagnostic laboratory test, diagnosis is sometimes delayed. Localized osteoporosis, subchondral erosions, femoral head alterations, and a reduction in joint space are all common radiographic findings. We report a case of Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip in a 14‑year‑old Indian girl who presented with pain and stiffness in her right hip with an MRI differential diagnosis of avascular necrosis/ tuberculosis of right hip joint.</p>
