In a prospective five-year study, 294 episodes of acute transient synovitis of the hip were diagnosed in 275 children. The average annual incidence was 0.2% and the accumulated risk of suffering at least one episode was 3%. The risk of recurrence was 20 times greater than the risk of having a single episode.

A prospective survey was carried out on all cases of irritable hip presenting at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital over a period of one year. All children had a radioisotope scan of the hips and were then followed for one year by serial radiography. Five of the 50 children seen during the one year had areas of ischaemia in the capital femoral epiphysis demonstrated on the scan. all five developed radiological signs of
