Pincer Morphology Is A Risk Factor For Developing Radiographic Hip Osteoarthritis; Data From The World Coach Consortium

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease with an estimated prevalence of 8% in general population. Hip morphology has been marked as important risk factor for development hip OA. One types thought to increase OA pincer morphology, which overcoverage femoral head by acetabulum. The may result neck impinging against acetabulum during motion and possibly creating intra-articular damage over time. However, attempts relate have yielded conflicting results. We studied relationship between at baseline developing radiographic within 8 years follow-up, using individual participant data from Worldwide Collaboration on OsteoArthritis prediCtion (World COACH).
