We present a case of idiopathic transient osteoporosis of the hip in a 43 year-old male. The patient presented with pain in the hip and limb. Hip x ray showed osteoporosis and scintigraphy revealed a diffuse uptake in the femoral head. Magnetic resonance imaging showed decreased signal intensity on the T1 weighted images and increased signal intensity on T2 weighted images in the femoral head and neck. Blood tests were normal. Healing was achieved by restricting weight-bearing and administering calcitonin and calcium. Radiographic remineralization occurred simultaneously with clinical resolution.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
