[Pre-arthrosis of the hip in the adult population].

In order to identify the presence of minor anatomical deformities responsible for the incongruity of the hip joint which causes the degenerative changes, the radiographies of the hips in 332 normal adults were reviewed. The deformities included the acetabular dysplasia and the tilt deformity of the femoral head as the residual condition of epiphyseolysis in adolescence. Using the Wiberg's CE angle acetabular dysplasia was found in 8.
