It's here - the central weight bearing point of the femoral head. Only this radiographer seems to indicate that it is slight towards the centre. This is the spot that most commonly marks the commencement of arthritic changes.I have been diagnosed with medial pole osteoarthritis. Can anyone tell me exactly what this is. Thanks.
Not really. If you already have osteoarthritis in the joint the damage will continue. Waiting will only impact other areas of your body as you try and stay off that sore hip. In my experience the longer the wait the more complicated the recovery. Best to get your THR done and get on with living!are there any alternatives to THR at this stage?
