Abstract

This is a case report of a 53-year-old female patient who presented with long-standing hip pain secondary to avascular necrosis of the hip joint. She underwent total hip replacement and her intraoperative findings raised suspicion of ochronosis and was retrospectively evaluated for alkaptonuria both clinically and through biochemical investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
