Influence of hip dysplasia on the development of osteoarthritis of the hip.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been suggested that in some patients with primary hip osteoarthritis (OA), the disease occurs as a consequence of acetabular dysplasia or hip dysplasia (HD).

Objective

To carry out a systematic review to investigate the association between acetabular dysplasia and hip OA.

Methods

A database search of Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane library was carried out, and articles that aimed at studying the relationship between HD and hip OA were identified. The methodological quality of the selected studies was assessed using a standardised set of criteria, and a best evidence synthesis was used to summarise the results from the individual studies.

Results

Five cohort studies and four case-control studies were included in this review. One cohort study
