Correlations between clinical-functional parameters in hip osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis: correlations between two clinical entities.

Pelvic Incidence in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis

    Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and disability that results in considerable social and medical costs. Mechanics such as posture, alignment and orientation of the hips and the spinal column and the relationship between these factors have been implicated in the development of both hip and spine pathologies. This study aims to test the hypothesis if pelvic incidenc...

Radiological progression of hip osteoarthritis: definition, risk factors and correlations with clinical status.

OBJECTIVES To determine a cut off value for changes in radiological joint space width that allowed definition of radiological progression of hip osteoarthritis not related to measurement method errors and, thereafter, to determine factors predictive of radiological progression of hip osteoarthritis and to evaluate the correlations between clinical and radiological parameters. METHODS A prospe...

Pain in bilateral knee osteoarthritis - correlations between clinical examination, radiological, and ultrasonographical findings.

AIMS The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlations between clinical symptoms (pain), physical examination, ultrasound (US), and radiological findings in patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIAL AND METHODS Knee pain was appreciated during medial and lateral palpation of each knee joint and using visual analogue scale (VAS) and The Western Ontario and McMaster Univers...

Correlations between ultrasonographic findings, clinical scores, and depression in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore correlations between the presence of depression, clinical scores, and ultrasonographic (US) grading in osteoarthritis (OA) patients and to clarify if depressive symptoms might cause a discrepancy between US findings and clinical scores. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred patients with primary knee OA and 100 healthy hospital volunteers of the same age and s...
