Abstract
Dear Editor,
Rapidly destructive osteoarthritis of the hip (RDOH) was first described by Lequesne, Postel, and Kerboull in 1970, and is characterized by the rapid destruction of the acetabular and femoral aspects of the hip joint within months. RDOH has an average onset age of 60 to 70 years, and is observed more frequently in women than men. The condition is a rare one, and the diagnosis is difficult to make because of the absence of typical clinical and radiographic features. Moreover, the hip involvement can be unilateral or bilateral, and patients typically have to undergo total hip arthroplasty (1-4).
