[Coxarthrosis and paramedical contact].
In a material consisting of 194 patient with arthrosis of the hip joint, waiting for alloplastic operation, the incidence of alternative treatment and the pattern of this was investigated. 43% had been treated by alternative methods. Eighty-eight per cent had sought alternative treatment because of hip pain. No differences in user frequency and pattern were found in Odense and Holstebro. The use of alternative treatment was unrelated to the duration of pain, pain intensity, sex and age.
