Abstract

Abstract: Rapidly destructive coxarthrosis is a rare entity of unknown etiology that is characterized by rapid hip joint destruction. Blood tests are thought to be non‐specific. However, we herein show a patient with rapidly destructive coxarthrosis, which was accompanied by fluctuating C‐reactive protein level. Abstract : Rapidly destructive coxarthrosis should be in the differential diagnosis for acute hip pain with an elevated CRP level, even if the joint deformity is slight on radiography, and early surgery should be considered.
