Spontaneous recovery of the joint space in degenerative hip disease.

Spontaneous recovery of the joint space in degenerative hip disease.

Recovery of the joint space in degenerative hip disease after osteotomy has been described on several occasions and the literature includes reports by Adam and Spence (1958), Nissen (1963), and Harris and Kirwan (1964), but there is much less documentation on spontaneous recovery of the joint space, which forms the subject of this paper.

The Biology of Degenerative Joint Disease

magnetic shutter, flash techniques, rotating shutters, the stroboscope and several high-speed techniques such as the Kerr Cell. Crawford and Jones explain how the measurement and calibration of the stimulus is accomplished by comparing it with a standard source using a thermopile, bolometer, photocell or other light sensitive device. They explore the knowledge of photometric and radiometric rel...
