Abstract

Osteoarthritis of the hip is becoming increasingly more common throughout the world and is getting wider attention from the medical community. A growing elderly population and globally increasing rates of obesity are bringing forth more traumatic and idiopathic degeneration of the hip joint. Pathology in the joint causes irreversible degeneration due to the inability of hyaline cartilage to heal. Classification of the pathological extent of the disease can be described through symptomatic or... More radiographical degree. History taking and physical examination lead to a proper diagnosis and management. The aim of treatment is to improve pain, function and quality of life. In the case where surgical intervention is needed, total hip arthroplasty is the gold standard operation with the best long-term results. Less

Abstract (croatian)

Osteoartris kuka postaje sve češći problem u svijetu, te mu se sve više posvećuje pažnja u medicinskoj zajednici. Povećanje broja starije populacije i globalne stope pretilosti dovodi do traumatičnije i idiopatske degeneracije zgloba kuka. Patologija u kuku uzrokuje nepovratna oštećenja, budući da se hijalina hrskavica ne može oporaviti. Klasifikacija patološkog opsega bolesti moze biti opisana putem simptomatskih ili radiografskih pretraga. Uzimanje anamneze i pregled dovode do dijagnoze i... More upravljanja tijekom bolesti. Cilj liječenja je smanjiti bol i poboljšati kvalitetu zivota. U slučaju kirurške intervencije, totalna artroplastika kuka je najbolja opcija sa dugoročnim rezultatima. Less
