title: Congophilic substance with green dichroism in hip joints in autopsy material.
abstract: Cartilage and fibrous capsular tissue from the hip joints of 30 unselected autopsies have been examined for the presence of congophilic substance with green dichroism (CS-GD). Ninety-three per cent of the cases had CS-GD in the joint cartilage and 43 per cent contained amyloid deposits in the capsule. The relation of these substances to age and the relation of CS-GD to the upper and lower parts of the femoral head cartilage have been studied, as well as the inter-relationship between the presence of CS-GD in the cartilage and amyloid deposits in the capsule within each joint.
