Apert syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterised by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and syndactyly of hands and feet. Here we present a case of a 44-year-old woman, with a genetic diagnosis of Apert syndrome from birth, who presented with symptomatic left-sided hip osteoarthritis secondary to femoral abnormalities. She proceeded to have a total hip replacement. This case report describes the rare occurrence to identify a possible association between Apert syndrome and hip abnormalities.
