Observations on osteoarthritis of the hip joint.
A correlation of the X-ray changes with the pathological changes seen in arthritic hips obtained at surgery or from cadavers, reveals 6 different patterns of osteoarthritis of the hip. The study suggests that the pathogenesis of the degenerative changes is different in each type and as such, would influence the results obtained by surgical intervention.
