Hip osteoarthritis

Epidemiology

The prevalence of radiographic hip osteoarthritis is 18.2% in men and 14.3% in women[1]

Aetiopathogenesis

  • Higher bone density can drive knee osteoarthritis but not hip osteoarthritis

Clinical Features

There is no clear association between pain levels and radiographic severity of hip osteoarthritis. Up to 40% of patients with hip osteoarthritis have no pain. Patients with higher pain levels showed differences in sensitisation as measured by quantitative sensory testing.[2]

Prognosis

  • A minority have clear cut clinical and radiological recovery, especially with marked osteophytosis and concentric disease
  • Superolateral migration of the femoral head is correlated with more rapid osteoarthritis progression, also with atrophic bone response

Treatment

Total hip joint replacement is usually effective for reducing pain. However 10% of patients have chronic postsurgical pain, and preoperative central sensitisation has been thought to be a risk factor for this.[2]
