Article Synopsis
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common hip condition with two types: primary and secondary, with increasing cases of primary OA in Japan, leading to more total hip arthroplasties (THAs).
- A study analyzed 1,308 hips to explore how femoral head lateralization relates to bone structure in primary OA, classifying hips into two groups based on lateralization observed on radiographs.
- Key findings indicate that hips with lateralization (group L) showed significant differences in specific radiographic measurements compared to non-lateralized hips (group N), suggesting distinct characteristics linked to the geometry of the acetabulum and proximal femur.
AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femoral fractures generally are considered stable intertrochanteric fractures. We report a case of an unstable AO/OTA type 31-A1.
