  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1007186-overview

  Transient synovitis (TS) is the most common cause of acute hip pain in children aged 3-10 years. The disease causes arthralgia and arthritis secondary to a transient inflammation of the synovium of the hip. Unilateral hip or groin pain is the most common symptom reported; however, some patients with transient synovitis may report medial thigh or knee pain. Very young children may have no symptoms other than crying at night, although a careful examination should reveal some degree of an antalgic limp. Children with transient synovitis are usually afebrile or have a mildly elevated temperature; high fever is rare. In 80-85% of children who present with a limp in the absence of trauma, transient synovitis of the hip is the cause. Transient synovitis most frequently occurs in children aged 4-10 years; however, transient synovitis has been reported in a 3-month-old infant and in adults. Patients with transient synovitis usually experience marked improvement within 24-48 hours. Two thirds to three fourths of patients with transient synovitis have complete resolution within 2 weeks. The recurrence rate is 4-17%; most recurrences develop within 6 months.
