While it is generally accepted that surgery is performed to avoid, or overcome, pain and deterioration of function, the underlying pathologies of hip deformity and dysfunction differ. ...
bone quality, pathology, and the severity of joint deterioration. I restrict surface replacement to patients younger than age 50, active, and motivated for surgery. Surgeons must inform patients that surface replacement may require revision in th...
Deterioration of the hip joint often leads to discomfort, flexibility issues, and difficulty walking. If the deterioration is severe enough, a total hip replacement or hip resurfacing may be required. Hip replacement implants are made from materials like metal, plastic, and ceramic, and are designe...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease of the synovial joints characterised by the progressive deterioration and loss of articular cartilage, resulting in structural and functional changes in the entire joint. Unlike RA, it is not an auto-immune disease. Instead, it develops due to ...

As the line of gravity changes away from the stance knee, the medial joint compressive forces and knee adduction moment increase, resulting in progressive deterioration [22, 23]. Hip abductor weakness is associated with functional decline as it impacts force generation [24] thereby altering the ...
the deterioration of the hip joint had begun. Not long after, surgeons started repairing the labrum arthroscopically with miniature tools inside the joint. They fixed the labrum and at the same time sculpted away the bony impingements that had caused the damage. Now the question is: After the...
The subsequent death of osteocytes triggers a repair process that may cause further structural deterioration and collapse, resulting in pain and joint dysfunction. The leading causes include femoral head and neck fracture, acetabular fracture, hip dislocation, corticosteroids, chronic alcohol over...
On radiographic examination, although these six patients had restoration of the joint space they did have lateral overgrowth of the femoral head (lateral buttressing) and overgrowth of the lateral acetabular margin (lateral osteophyte). In three patients who had disabling pain, joint deterioration was...
Further deterioration in HRQoL was evident with increasing BMI (F=4.44, p=0.02); there was a significant difference in HRQoL between participants who were obese (adjusted mean 0.43, 95%CI 0.31-0.55) and those classified as underweight/normal weight (adjusted mean 0.66, 95%CI 0.55-0.77). ...
