AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on hip osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative condition affecting the hip joint due to cartilage damage, and its surgical treatment through hip arthroplasty at a specific hospital in Romania.
- Researchers aimed to analyze the incidence of OA patients, their demographics (age and gender), living conditions, and types of hip surgeries performed over a five-year period.
- The findings revealed that out of 485 patients, a significant majority (87.83%) were over 60 years old, and the disease predominantly affected women, with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1.
Article Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip, also known as coxarthrosis, is a degenerative disease marked by gradual biomechanics alterations cause by articular cartilage damage in the coxofemural joint. The goal of this study was determining the incidence of patients with hip osteoarthritis who undergo surgery (hip arthroplasty) within the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Emergency County Hospital of Drobeta-Turnu Severin, hospitalized between January 2014 and December 2019. Furthermore, we proposed gathering details about incidence, distribution according to age group, gender, living conditions, and type of arthroplasty used in studied patient group. The study included 485 patients with hip OA mainly diagnosed in elderly patients, 87.83% being over 60 years old. In terms of gender, the disease primarily impacted women, with a female/male ratio of 2/1.
