Abstract
Protracted articular attacks in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) are uncommon and they end with almost complete functional and anatomical recovery. Here we report a case of 34-year-old man with FMF who has bilateral degenerative joint damage of hips with limitation of motion, radiological appearance of severe bilateral coxarthrosis leading to residual incapacity. Although total hip replacement is recommended to the patient, he refuses it.
