This study was performed to investigate the association between the acetabular morphology and the joint space narrowing rate (JSNR) in the non-arthritic hip. We retrospectively reviewed standing whole-leg radiographs of patients who underwent knee arthroplasty from February 2012 to March 2020 at our institute. Patients with a history of hip surgery, Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ II hip osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis were excluded. The hip JSNR was measured, and the normalized JSNR (nJSNR) was calculated by calibrating the joint space width with the size of the femoral head in 395 patients (790 hips) with a mean age of 73.7 years (SD 8.6). The effects of the lateral centre-edge angle (CEA) and acetabular roof obliquity (ARO) in the standing and supine positions were examined using a multivariate regression model.Aims
Methods
Using a simple classification method, we aimed to estimate the collapse rate due to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in order to develop treatment guidelines for joint-preserving surgeries. We retrospectively analyzed 505 hips from 310 patients (141 men, 169 women; mean age 45.5 years Objectives
