Case Diagnosis:

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: 2 boys, 14 years, chronic painful limping, confirmed by radiograph.

Osteochondritis of the hip: 1 girl, 1 boy. Diagnosis confirmed clinically and radiographically.

Congenital hip lesions (LCH): 1 infant, 15 months, and 1 child. Diagnosed at birth/infancy.

Case Description:

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: 2 boys, 14 years, presented with chronic painful limping. Radiographs confirmed epiphysiolysis. Treated by in situ fixation with good short-term recovery.

Osteochondritis of the hip: 1 girl and 1 boy. The girl underwent one month of traction, followed by unloading with wheelchair and ambulation with crutches. The boy was managed with unloading in wheelchair, then ambulation with crutches. Both improved gradually.

Congenital hip dislocation: A 15-month-old infant was treated orthopedically. Another child underwent surgical correction via Salter procedure. Both showed favorable early outcomes.

Discussions:
Hip disorders in children are varied and require early diagnosis. Treatment must be tailored to the child's age and the severity of the condition, whether orthopaedic, functional or surgical.
Individualised care optimises the functional prognosis.

Conclusions:
Early treatment of hip disorders in children protects their hips and prevents osteoarthritis in later life
