Subchondral bone deterioration in femoral heads in patients with osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia: A case–control study

ConclusionsOsteoarthritic deteriorations of subchondral bone induced by hip dysplasia spread throughout the whole joint, but exhibit region-dependent variations, with the weight-bearing region more seriously affected. Biomechanical stress might exert a pivotal impact on subchondral bone homeostasis in hip dysplasia.The translational potential of this articleThe histomorphometric findings in the project indicate an early intervention for the development of hip dysplasia in clinic.
