[Traumatic ostearthritis of the hip joint and its treatment (author's transl)]. 1976

G Kaiser

The author describes the various origins of osteoarthrosis following hip joint injuries. Since beginning osteoarthrosis can't be stoped, he emphasizes the surgical treatment of joint fractures including accurate reduction and stabilization of the fragments. In respect of this, intracapsular fractures of the neck of the femur always require a stabile fixation. In all cases the micro-injuries of the articular cartilage should be considered. The different possibilities of post-traumatic degenerative arthritis are discussed and the methods of operative procedures presented.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010003	Osteoarthritis	A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
