After a review of the history, clinical features, laboratory findings, imaging techniques and the treatment of coxitis fugax, the authors inform about 131 own cases. In this disease of the hip joint, which is most commonly encountered in childhood, differential diagnosis is of the utmost importance. In the present study, the initial diagnosis had to be changed in eleven cases affected with this condition, which is also referred to as "observation hip". The patients ultimately contracted severe diseases such as leukaemia, juvenile polyarthritis or Perthes' disease.

The most important tool for confirmation in pediatric hip disorders is radiological imaging. Vice versa changes on sonogram, native X‑ray or magnetic resonance images (MRI) can often only be interpreted when the history and current clinical findings are known.

Clinical/methodical Issue: Differentiating between septic arthritis and transient synovitis can be challenging but is very important as a late diagnosis of septic arthritis can lead to sepsis and joint damage. For correct diagnosis and prediction of complications, the right combination of physical examination, laboratory and radiological studies is needed.
Standard Radiological Methods: Hip ultrasound is easy to learn and has a high sensitivity for joint effusion.
