Intra-articular synovial effusion was visualized in different juvenile hip diseases by ultrasonography; 166 hips from 149 children were examined. Joint aspiration of 97 hips confirmed that ultrasonography was more sensitive than conventional radiography in diagnosing effusion. The magnitude of the ultrasonic joint space correlated well with the clinical severity of the disease, the volume of synovial fluid, and the intra-articular pressure. Considerable widening of the ultrasonic joint space was seen in transient synovitis, septic arthritis, reactive arthritis and arthritis with urticaria; moderate widening was seen in some patients with Perthes disease, and symmetrical joint space in patients with nonspecific arthralgia. We conclude that ultrasonography is valuable in the diagnosis and follow-up of synovial effusion of the hip in children.

Intra-articular pressure was measured in 94 hips in 81 children with Perthes' disease and various forms of synovitis of the hip. The pressure was elevated in Perthes' disease (3.4 kPa), transient synovitis (17.3 kPa), septic arthritis (20.2 kPa), reactive arthritis (28.0 kPa) and arthritis with urticaria (32.3 kPa). In transient synovitis the mean pressure was only 2.3 kPa in flexion, while a mean of 26.6 kPa was seen in the neutral position and in internal rotation. In children with synovial effusion of the hip, the position of immobilisation should therefore be in flexion of 30-45 degrees with slight external rotation. The neutral position or extension, even with simultaneous traction, may endanger the circulation of the femoral head.

Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare condition characterized by urticaria, arthralgias, deafness and amyloid nephropathy. The arthropathy is poorly documented. We describe the arthropathy occurring in four cases of MWS and discuss the management. Each patient developed recurrent bouts of transient synovitis. One patient developed a persistent sterile pyoarthrosis.

Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) is commonly used to detect labral tears of the hip. Complications of MRA are unusual and include minor reactions such as chemical synovitis and urticaria. This paper presents a rapidly progressive chondrolysis of the hip in a young patient after arthrography. The patient had suffered from acute septic arthritis and was treated by emergent arthroscopic surgery followed by appropriate antibiotics. At 18 months of followup, there were no signs of active infection but evidence of joint chondrolysis. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the hip is an invasive procedure and should therefore be recommended judiciously. Post-MRA pain is common but often mild and temporary, while post-MRA joint infection is rare; nevertheless, severe joint pain and limitation should raise suspicion for septic hip.
