Aim: To estimate the rate of articular cartilage microcrystallization in osteoarthritis (OA).
Subjects And Methods: The investigation included 110 people who had undergone total endoprosthetic replacement for coxarthrosis. A total of 50 patients with total hip endoprosthetic replacement for femoral neck fractures were recruited as a comparison group. An X-ray diffractometer was used to detect crystals.
Results: Cartilage mineralization was seen in 72% of the patients with late-stage OA.
Conclusion: Articular cartilage microcrystalline stress is a constant sign of late-stage OA requiring further clinical interpretation.
