Rapidly progressive hip osteoarthritis (RPOH) is a rare and severe form of osteoarthritis (OA), marked by the rapid degeneration and destruction of the femoral head, often within months. Despite its unclear etiology, several factors such as subchondral fractures and immune responses have been proposed as possible contributors. This narrative review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical presentation, imaging features, and grading systems of RPOH.

- Alström disease is a rare genetic disorder linked to mutations in the ALMS1 gene, causing diverse issues across multiple organ systems, including heart and sensory problems, but with significant variability between patients.
- The case study focuses on a 4-month-old girl who showed symptoms like dilated cardiomyopathy and neurosensory deficits, prompting genetic testing that confirmed Alström syndrome.
- The findings highlight the challenges in linking specific genetic mutations to clinical symptoms, underscoring the need for more research on phenotype-genotype relationships in Alström disease.
