Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) or Hereditary onycho-osteodystrophy is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterised by skeletal and nail abnormalities and frequently renal involvement. Our patient presented with both hip and knee pain and on examination, he had features of nail dystrophy, hypoplastic patellae and hip arthritis. Radiological evaluation showed prominent iliac horns, femoral head abnormalities with early osteoarthritis of both hips. He responded with symptomatic therapy. Secondary osteoarthritis of hip joint due to structural abnormalities of femoral head was quite unusual in Nail-patella syndrome, hence this case was reported.
