Excessive acetabular cover secondary to a retroverted acetabulum causes pincer impingement, which may cause early osteoarthritis of the hip. Our aim was to determine if there was a relationship between acetabular version and

We retrospectively examined the long-term outcome of 96 asymptomatic hips in 96 patients with a mean age of 49.3 years (16 to 65) who had radiological evidence of femoroacetabular impingement. When surveillance commenced there were 17, 34, and 45 hips with cam, pincer, and mixed impingement, respectively. Overall, 79 hips (82.3%) remained free of

We investigated 60 patients (89 feet) with a
mean age of 64 years (61 to 67) treated for congenital clubfoot deformity,
using standardised weight-bearing radiographs of both feet and ankles
together with a functional evaluation. Talocalcaneal and talonavicular
relationships were measured and the degree of osteo-arthritic change
in the ankle and talonavicular joints was assessed. The functional
results were evaluated using a modified Laaveg-Ponseti score. The
talocalcaneal (TC) angles in the clubfeet were significantly lower
in both anteroposterior (AP) and lateral projections than in the
unaffected feet (p <
0.001 for both views). There was significant
medial subluxation of the navicular in the clubfeet compared with
the unaffected feet (p <
