Women diagnosed with transient osteoporosis of the hip had advanced maternal age, low BMI, family history of osteoporosis, prevalent smoking and IVF pregnancies. Transient osteoporosis of the hip was bilateral in 25% and presented postpartum in 50% of cases. There was no significant difference in maternal outcomes between NVD and CD. Higher awareness of this potential diagnosis during pregnancy and postpartum may improve patient management and outcomes.
