Role of femoral head ligament in pathogenesis of coxarthrosis

In this study, patients with coxarthrosis and a control group of persons were clinically and radiographically examined. Intraoperatively the pathomorphology of the hip joint and changes of the femoral head ligament in coxarthrosis and the hip fracture without signs of coxarthrosis were studied. On a mechanical model the role of the femoral head ligament in the biomechanics of the vertical posture and normal walking was clarify and when it was damaged. Pathological and radiological changes in coxarthrosis compared with the fact of a pathology of femoral head ligament.
