Abstract
Several pediatric hip disorders are essential for the nurse practitioner to recognize, manage, and refer. In this study, the following selected hip disorders are described: developmental dysplasia of the hips; Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease; transient synovitis of the hip; and septic arthritis of the hip. Developmental dysplasia of the hips can occur congenitally or in early childhood. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is an avascular necrosis of the femoral head that occurs between 4 and 8 years of age. Transient synovitis of the hip is benign and self-limited, but its danger is that it can mimic septic arthritis of the hip. Septic arthritis of the hip is a medical emergency that requires operative intervention and intravenous antibiotics.
