Introduction:
Adhesive capsulitis of the hip is a rare presenting pathology. History and physical examination are essential for diagnosis. Conservative management is the main line of treatment with surgical intervention preserved for resistant cases.
Presentation of case:
The authors report a case of young female diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis of the hip with two pain free periods during pregnancy and after arthrogram.
Discussion:
The relation between the pregnancy hormones and generalized laxity is well established. Animals studies proved the role of female hormones in treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
Conclusion:
Hip pain relief during pregnancy can raise the suspicion of adhesive capsulitis of the hip. Further investigations are needed to prove this relation.
