Aims. Recently, there has been considerable interest in quantifying
the associations between bony abnormalities around and in the hip
joint and osteoarthritis (OA). Our aim was to investigate the relationships
between acetabular undercoverage, acetabular overcoverage, and femoroacetabular
impingement (FAI) with OA of the
The gluteus minimus (GMin) and gluteus medius (GMed) have unique structural and functional segments that may be affected to varying degrees, by end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and normal ageing. We used data from patients with end-stage OA and matched healthy controls to 1) quantify the atrophy of the GMin and GMed in the two groups and 2) describe the distinct patterns of the fatty infiltration in the different segments of the GMin and GMed in the two groups. A total of 39 patients with end-stage OA and 12 age- and sex frequency-matched healthy controls were prospectively enrolled in the study. Fatty infiltration within the different segments of the GMin and the GMed was assessed on MRI according to the semiquantitative classification system of Goutallier and normalized cross-sectional areas were measured.Aims

Aims. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare the functional outcome of two different surgical approaches to the
Aims. The aim of this paper is to review the evidence relating to the
anatomy of the proximal femur, the geometry of the fracture and
the characteristics of implants and methods of fixation of intertrochanteric
fractures of the
In a population-based study we identified a cohort of 282 women, whose children had been treated for osteoarthritis of the
We reviewed, at an average age of 46 years, a series of 61 patients treated for unilateral slipped upper femoral epiphysis. At maturity there had been slipping of the contralateral
Aims. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been highlighted and well
documented primarily in Western countries and there are few large
studies focused on FAI-related morphological assessment in Asian
patients. We chose to investigate this subject. Patients and Methods. We assessed the morphology of the

Aims. The primary aim of this prognostic study was to identify baseline
factors associated with physical health-related quality of life
(HRQL) in patients after a femoral neck fracture. The secondary
aims were to identify baseline factors associated with mental HRQL,
