The clinical and radiographic features of hip disease in 76 patients with definite ankylosing spondylitis have been studied. Symptomatic hip involvement occurred late in the course of the disease, with a mean delay after the onset of 12 years in males and 7 years in females. Patients with disease onset before the age of 20 developed hip symptoms at an earlier stage. Associated diseases included...

One of the most common causes for revision surgery following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is dislocation.Dislocation is associated with a considerable amount of suffering and risks for the patient, and extra costs for the health care system.Compared with degenerative arthritis, the dislocation rate is doubled for avascular necrosis and multiplied by three times for congenital dislocation, four ...

Background. Residual dysplasia occurs in some hip joints with DDH treated conservatively. This may lead to osteoarthrosis in relatively near future. Our study aimed to determine which radiographic parameters and clinical factors could reliably predict hip joint development after closed reduction. Material and methods. We examined 81 patients and 107 hip joints treated with over-head traction. T...

Objective To evaluate the correlation between radiographic parameters of the proximal femur with femoral neck fractures or transtrochanteric fractures. Methods Cervicodiaphyseal angle (CDA), femoral neck width (FNW), hip axis length (HAL), and acetabular tear drop distance (ATD) were analyzed in 30 pelvis anteroposterior view X-rays of patients with femoral neck fractures (n = 15) and transtr...

BACKGROUND: Hip Dysplasia is a frequent orthopedic disease that is characterized by early joint sublux- ation. The DARthroplasty technique is a two-part process that involves applying bone graft to increase the femoral head coverage with a low morbidity rate and the long term is known results. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to investigate the radiograph...

Patrick C. Schottel et al. in their study, ‘The role experience level in radiographic evaluation of femoroacetabular impingement and acetabular dysplasia,’ studied the interobserver and intraobserver reliability for the radiographic evaluation and diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia (AD) also known as developmental dyspalsia of the hip (DDH) between physicia...

BACKGROUND Gait is abnormal in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). To date, studies have not correlated radiographic FAI morphology with gait abnormalities. HYPOTHESIS Gait abnormalities in FAI patients will be associated with radiographic FAI morphology. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. METHODS Patients with symptomatic FAI (n = 20) underwent...

BACKGROUND Identifying pain as coming from the hip joint is more complex than for other large joint sites. There is no accepted best approach to defining hip pain for use in clinical and epidemiological studies. OBJECTIVE To compare the use of verbal and pictorial descriptions in ascertaining hip pain. METHODS A cross sectional population based study on 2935 subjects compared groups reporti...
