Radiographic and Patient Factors Associated with Pre-Radiographic Osteoarthritis in Hip Dysplasia

Abstract

As has been demonstrated in previous studies of the hip, this investigation showed osteoarthritis to be associated with increasing age and the severity of dysplasia, as demonstrated both by the Wiberg lateral center-edge angle and the Lequesne anterior center-edge angle. Additionally, we identified a labral tear as being a risk factor for osteoarthritis.
