An obscure cause of hip pain
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 08/27/09

The high mortality rate of this disease requires an acute clinical awareness to facilitate rapid diagnosis and surgical intervention for improved prognosis. Early diagnosis and expeditious surgical management resulted in a good outcome.
