Bone Marrow Edema Syndrome of the Hip
摘要
Bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) is an uncommon disease of the hip, which causes an acute disabling hip pain. It is a self-limiting disease, which regresses spontaneously within several months. In 1892, Hanau first described osteomalacia of the hip due to vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy [1]. In 1959, Curtiss and Kincaid reported three cases of transitory demineralization of the hip in pregnancy [2]. In 1968, Hunder and Kelly used the term “transient osteoporosis of the hip” because of the focal loss of radiodensity in the affected femoral head and its later spontaneous recovery [3].
