Abstract
A case series of 3 different patients showing very rare costoclavicular ligament increased SUV uptake on PET\CT with history of different types of cancer. This finding has not been described before especially that it corresponds to benign degenerative rather than sinister process. This is supported by low SUV and stability over months of follow up. Furthermore, even in degenerative joint diseases we have found very rare cases of such uptake. Experienced radiologists need to be always involved in the multidisciplinary team approach and be very cautious when approaching such findings to avoid any unnecessary medical interventions.

Are hip joint imaging findings associated with symptoms and early hip osteoarthritis features in elite male Australian Football League draftees? SCI MED FOOTBALL 2024:1-8. [PMID: 39101330 DOI: 10.1080/24733938.2024.2385341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
1) describe intra-articular features (prevalence and severity) and bony hip morphology (prevalence and size) in elite male Australia Football League (AFL) draftees; 2) examine the relationship between bony hip morphology (cam and pincer morphology) and intra-articular features (cartilage defects and labral tears); and 3) examine the relationship between intra-articular features, bony hip morphology, and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). Cross-sectional study. 58 male AFL draftees underwent 3-tesla hip MRI. Alpha angle determined cam morphology and acetabular depth defined pincer morphology. For each hip, intra-articular features were scored semi-quantitatively. All players completed the HAGOS to determine hip/groin symptoms and sports function. Logistic regression determined whether bony hip morphology was associated with labral tears and cartilage defects. Mann-Whitney U tests evaluated the difference in HAGOS subscale scores between football players with and without intra-articular features and bony hip morphology. Cam and pincer morphology were evident in 20% and 19% of hips, respectively. Nearly half of hips (41%) had a labral tear, with only 14% having a cartilage defect. Greater alpha angle was associated with the presence of labral tears (OR 1.14, 95%CI 1.07 to 1.21, p < 0.001) but not cartilage defects. Hip imaging findings were not associated with lower (worse) HAGOS scores. Hip joint imaging findings were common in elite male AFL draftees but not associated with worse pain, symptoms, or sport function. Cam morphology may contribute to the development of labral tears in male AFL draftees.

The Association Between the Development of Cam Morphology During Skeletal Growth in High-Impact Athletes and the Presence of Cartilage Loss and Labral Damage in Adulthood: A Prospective Cohort Study With a 12-Year Follow-up. Am J Sports Med 2024; 52:2555-2564. [PMID: 39101608 PMCID: PMC11344970 DOI: 10.1177/03635465241256123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cam morphology develops during skeletal growth, but its influence on cartilage and the labrum in high-impact athletes later in life is unknown. PURPOSE To (1) explore the association between the presence and duration of cam morphology during adolescence and the cartilage and labral status 7 to 12 years later and (2) report the prevalence of cartilage loss and labral damage in a population of young male athletes (<32 years old) who played professional soccer during skeletal growth. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (Prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS A total of 89 healthy male academy soccer players from the Dutch soccer club Feyenoord (aged 12-19 years) were included at baseline. At baseline and 2.5- and 5-year follow-ups, standardized supine anteroposterior pelvis and frog-leg lateral radiographs of each hip were obtained. At 12-year follow-up, magnetic resonance imaging of both hips was performed. Cam morphology was defined by a validated alpha angle ≥60° on radiographs at baseline or 2.5- or 5-year follow-up when the growth plates were closed. Hips with the presence of cam morphology at baseline or at 2.5-year follow-up were classified as having a "longer duration" of cam morphology. Hips with cam morphology only present since 5-year follow-up were classified as having a "shorter duration" of cam morphology. At 12-year follow-up, cartilage loss and labral abnormalities were assessed semiquantitatively. Associations were estimated using logistic regression, adjusted for age and body mass index. RESULTS Overall, 35 patients (70 hips) with a mean age of 28.0 ± 2.0 years and mean body mass index of 24.1 ± 1.8 participated at 12-year follow-up. Cam morphology was present in 56 of 70 hips (80%). The prevalence of cartilage loss was 52% in hips with cam morphology and 21% in hips without cam morphology (adjusted odds ratio, 4.52 [95% CI, 1.16-17.61]; P = .03). A labral abnormality was present in 77% of hips with cam morphology and in 64% of hips without cam morphology (adjusted odds ratio, 1.99 [95% CI, 0.59-6.73]; P = .27). The duration of cam morphology did not influence these associations. CONCLUSION The development of cam morphology during skeletal growth was associated with future magnetic resonance imaging findings consistent with cartilage loss in young adults but not with labral abnormalities.

Development of Local Software for Automatic Measurement of Geometric Parameters in the Proximal Femur Using a Combination of a Deep Learning Approach and an Active Shape Model on X-ray Images. JOURNAL OF IMAGING INFORMATICS IN MEDICINE 2024; 37:633-652. [PMID: 38343246 PMCID: PMC11031524 DOI: 10.1007/s10278-023-00953-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Proximal femur geometry is an important risk factor for diagnosing and predicting hip and femur injuries. Hence, the development of an automated approach for measuring these parameters could help physicians with the early identification of hip and femur ailments. This paper presents a technique that combines the active shape model (ASM) and deep learning methodologies. First, the femur boundary is extracted by a deep learning neural network. Then, the femur's anatomical landmarks are fitted to the extracted border using the ASM method. Finally, the geometric parameters of the proximal femur, including femur neck axis length (FNAL), femur head diameter (FHD), femur neck width (FNW), shaft width (SW), neck shaft angle (NSA), and alpha angle (AA), are calculated by measuring the distances and angles between the landmarks. The dataset of hip radiographic images consisted of 428 images, with 208 men and 220 women. These images were split into training and testing sets for analysis. The deep learning network and ASM were subsequently trained on the training dataset. In the testing dataset, the automatic measurement of FNAL, FHD, FNW, SW, NSA, and AA parameters resulted in mean errors of 1.19%, 1.46%, 2.28%, 2.43%, 1.95%, and 4.53%, respectively.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous disease that affects the entire joint. Its pathogenesis involves hypertrophy and hyperplasia of synovial cells and polarization infiltration of macrophages, in which macrophages, as a potential target, can delay the progression of the disease by improving the immune microenvironment in OA. To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of Carveol in cartilage and synovial macrophage reprogramming and crosstalk during the development of OA. RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cell line was mainly used to stimulate macrophages to polarization towards M1 and M2 by LPS, IL4+IL13, respectively. Different concentrations of Carveol were given to intervene, and macrophage culture medium was collected to intervene mouse C57BL6J chondrocytes. ROS assay kit, western blotting, cellular immunofluorescence, scanning microscope and section histology were used to evaluate the effect of Carveol on anti-M1-polarization, M2-polarization promotion and cartilage protection. The mouse destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM) model was observed by micro-CT scan and histology. We found that CA could inhibit the increase of macrophage inflammation level under the intervention of LPS and promote the production of M2 anti-inflammatory substances under the intervention of IL-4+IL13. In addition, Carveol activated NRF2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway and enhanced ROS clearance in chondrocytes under the intervention of macrophage culture medium. The phosphorylation of I-κBα is inhibited, which further reduces the phosphorylation of P65 downstream of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. In addition, Carveol inhibits mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling molecules P-JNK, P-ERK and P-P38, and inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators. In vivo, Carveol can reduce osteophytes and bone spurs induced by DMM, reduce hypertrophy of synovial cells, reduce infiltration of macrophages, inhibit subchondral bone destruction, and reduce articular cartilage erosion. Our study suggests that synovial macrophages are potential targets for OA treatment, and Carveol is an effective candidate for OA treatment.

A retrospective evaluation of supine pelvic radiography image quality using centring points and anatomical axial rotation, including reliability of measurements (ARLEX-P STUDY). Radiography (Lond) 2023; 29:941-949. [PMID: 37531694 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pelvic radiographs are commonly used for the investigation of a variety of conditions. Comparison between examinations requires a consistent radiographic technique but variations in image quality and radiographic centring points are frequently reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to establish the amount of variation in the radiographic centring point (RCP) and pelvic axial rotation (PAR), with a secondary aim of reporting the reliability of such measures. METHODS Using a previously acquired imaging archive, 633 adult pelvis/hip radiographs were identified on a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Radiographs with bilateral prostheses, evidence of acute pelvic trauma, projections acquired on a stretcher/trolley and those demonstrating large discontinuity between the detector and X-ray field centre were excluded. To determine centring point variation (+ values denote superior variations) and axial rotation multiple measurements were obtained from each radiograph. A video was used to train five observers and each of these reviewed ten random cases to determine inter- and intra-rater reliability. One of the five observers then performed the measurements on all remaining radiographs. RESULTS Following exclusions 380 radiographs were evaluated. The median (IQR) RCP deviation from the inter-acetabular line was +22 (+2 to +43) mm where both iliac crests were present and -29 (-45 to -12) mm where they were not. Eleven (3%) cases demonstrate RCP variation from the midline of greater than 25 mm (no bias towards the left or right side). The median (IQR) PAR was 0.0 (-1.5 to 1.4) degrees with greater variance in PAR for male participants (p = 0.004). Almost 60% of inter-rater ICC measurements were categorised as excellent, good or moderate. CONCLUSION Variations in RCP and PAR exist when evaluating a sample of routinely acquired pelvis radiographs. Some initial factors, such as sex and sub-examination type (full pelvis [XPEL] or low centred pelvis [XHIPB]) have been identified as having a statistical affect on variability. Further research and methods to standardise radiographic techniques is required and must be multidimensional in nature. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Selection of radiographic technique, including RCP, appears to influence components of the pelvis radiograph. Given the increasing clinical requirements for pelvic radiography further standardisation alongside individual optimisation is warranted.

Abstract
Patients with transfemoral amputation (TFA) are up to six times more likely to develop hip osteoarthritis (OA) in either or both the intact and residual limb, which is primarily attributed to habitually altered joint loading due to compensatory movement patterns. However, joint loading patterns differ between limbs, which confounds the understanding of loading-induced OA etiology across limbs. It remains unknown if altered loading due to amputation results in bony shape changes at the hip, which is a known etiological factor in the development of hip OA. Retrospective computed tomography images were collected of the residual limb for 31 patients with unilateral TFA (13F/18M; age: 51.7 ± 9.9 y/o; time since amputation: 13.7 ± 12.4 years) and proximal femur for a control group of 29 patients (13F/16M; age: 42.0 ± 12.27 years) and used to create 3D geometries of the proximal femur. Femoral 3D geometric variation was quantified using statistical shape modeling (SSM), a computational tool which placed 2048 corresponding particles on each geometry. Independent modes of variation were created using principal component analysis. 2D radiographic measures of the proximal femur, including common measures such as α-angle, head neck offset, and neck shaft angle, were quantified on digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs). SSM results were then compared to 2D measures using Pearson correlation coefficients (r). Two-sample t-tests were used to determine if there were significant differences between the TFA and control group means of 2D radiographic measurements (p < 0.05). Patients with TFA had greater femoral head asphericity within the SSM, which was moderately correlated to head-neck offset (r = -0.54) and α-angle (r = 0.63), as well as greater trochanteric torsion, which was strongly correlated to the novel radiographic measure of trochanteric torsion (r = -0.78), compared to controls. For 2D measures, the neck-shaft angle was smaller in the TFA group compared to the control group (p = 0.01) while greater trochanter height was larger in the TFA group compared to the control group (p = 0.04). These results indicate altered loading from transfemoral prosthesis use changes proximal femur bony morphology, including femoral head asphericity and greater trochanter changes. Greater trochanter morphologic changes, though not a known factor to OA, affect moment arm and line of action of the primary hip abductors, the major muscles which contribute to joint loading and hip stability. Thus, chronic altered loading of the amputated limb hip, whether under- or overloading, results in bony changes to the proximal femur which may contribute to the etiological progression and development of OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) affect hip range of motion (ROM). SOURCES OF DATA We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis searching six electronic databases from inception to March 21, 2022. We included studies assessing hip ROM in FAIS, FAI morphology without symptoms (FAIm), and healthy controls. Mean differences between groups were measured in ROM degrees with 95% confidence interval (CI). AREAS OF AGREEMENT A total of 17 studies (1702 hips) were included. Comparison of FAIS patients versus healthy controls showed that hip ROM was clinically and statistically reduced in FAIS for internal rotation (90° hip flexion, -8.01°, 95% CI: -11.21, -4.90; 0° hip flexion -6.38°, 95% CI: -9.79, -2.97); adduction (90° hip flexion, -4.74°, 95% CI: -8.13, -1.34); flexion (-5.41°, 95% CI: -7.05, -3.49), abduction (0° hip flexion, -5.76°, 95% CI: -8.38, -3.23), and external rotation (90° hip flexion, -3.5°, 95% CI: -5.32, -1.67) ranging from low to high certainty of evidence. Comparison of FAIm versus healthy controls showed no statistically significant differences in any direction of movement, albeit with uncertainty of evidence. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY The certainty of evidence was unclear, particularly for asymptomatic FAIm. GROWING POINTS Hip ROM may be reduced in all directions except extension in FAIS compared to controls. Hip ROM may not be restricted in asymptomatic FAIm. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Further studies are needed to resolve the uncertainty of evidence about ROM restrictions in asymptomatic FAIm compared to healthy controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review was to identify all examples of the application of statistical shape models to the human hip joint, with a focus on applications, population, methodology, and validation. INTRODUCTION Clinical radiographs are the most common imaging tool for management of hip conditions, but it is unclear whether radiographs can adequately diagnose or predict outcomes of 3D deformity. Statistical shape modeling, a method of describing the variation of a population of shapes using a small number of variables, has been identified as a useful tool to associate 2D images with 3D anatomy. This could allow clinicians and researchers to validate clinical radiographic measures of hip deformity, develop new ones, or predict 3D morphology directly from radiographs. In identifying all previous examples of statistical shape modeling applied to the human hip joint, this review determined the prevalence, strengths, and weaknesses, and identified gaps in the literature. INCLUSION CRITERIA Participants included any human population. The concept included development or application of statistical shape models based on discrete landmarks and principal component analysis. The context included sources that exclusively modeled the hip joint. Only peer-reviewed original research journal articles were eligible for inclusion. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science Core Collection, OCLC PapersFirst, OCLC Proceedings, Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, and Google Scholar for sources published in English between 1992 and 2021. Two reviewers screened sources against the inclusion criteria independently and in duplicate. Data were extracted by 2 reviewers using a REDCap form designed to answer the review study questions, and are presented in narrative, tabular, and graphical form. RESULTS A total of 104 sources were considered eligible based on the inclusion criteria. From these, 122 unique statistical shape models of the human hip were identified based on 86 unique training populations. Models were most often applied as one-off research tools to describe shape in certain populations or to predict outcomes. The demographics of training populations were skewed toward older patients in high-income countries. A mean age between 60 and 79 years was reported in 29 training populations (34%), more than reported in all other age groups combined, and 73 training populations (85%) were reported or inferred to be from Europe and the Americas. Only 4 studies created models in a pediatric population, although 15 articles considered shape variation over time in some way. There were approximately equal numbers of 2D and 3D models. A variety of methods for labeling the training set was observed. Most articles presented some form of validation such as reporting a model's compactness (n = 71), but in-depth validation was rare. CONCLUSIONS Despite the high volume of literature concerning statistical shape models of the human hip, there remains a need for further research in key areas. We identified the lack of models in pediatric populations and low- and middle-income countries as a notable limitation to be addressed in future research.

The association between statistical shape modeling-defined hip morphology and features of early hip osteoarthritis in young adult football players: Data from the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort (FORCe) study. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2022; 4:100275. [PMID: 36474944 PMCID: PMC9718108 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2022.100275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between radiographic hip shape and features of early hip osteoarthritis (OA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in young male and female football players without radiographic hip OA. Design We used baseline data from a cohort of symptomatic and asymptomatic football players aged 18-50 years. Hip shape was assessed on anteroposterior radiographs with statistical shape modeling (SSM) for men and women separately. Cartilage defects and labral tears were graded using the Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) system. We used logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to estimate associations between each hip shape variant, called shape modes, and cartilage defects or labral tears. Results We included 229 participants (446 hips, 77.4% male). For each sex, 15 shape modes were analyzed. In men, three shape modes were associated with cartilage defects: adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 0.75 (95%CI 0.58-0.97) per standard deviation (SD) for mode 1; 1.34 (95%CI 1.05-1.69) per SD for mode 12; and 0.61 (95%CI 0.48-0.78) per SD for mode 15; and one also with labral tears: aOR 1.30 (95%CI 1.01-1.69) per SD for mode 12. These modes generally represented variations in the femoral neck and subtypes of cam morphology, with and without pincer morphology. For women, there was no evidence for associations with the outcomes. Conclusions Several hip shape variants were associated with cartilage defects on MRI in young male football players. Specifically, one subtype of cam morphology was associated with both cartilage defects and labral tears. Hip shape was not associated with early OA features in women.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage loss, subchondral bone remodeling, and synovial inflammation. Given that the current therapies for advanced OA patients are limited, the understanding of mechanisms and novel therapies are urgently needed. In this study, we employed the weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) method and the connectivity map (CMap) database to identify the candidate target genes and potential compounds. Four groups of co-expressing genes were identified as the OA-related modules. The biological annotations of these modules indicated some critical hallmarks of OA and aging, such as mitochondrial dysfunctions and abnormal energy metabolism, and the signaling pathways, such as MAPK, TNF, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Some genes, such as RELA and GADD45B, were predicted to extensively involve these critical pathways, indicating their potential functions in OA mechanisms. Moreover, we constructed the co-expressing networks of modules and identified the hub genes based on network topology. GADD45B, MAFF, and MYC were identified and validated as the hub genes. Finally, anisomycin and MG-262 were predicted to target these OA-related modules, which may be the potential drugs for OA therapy. In conclusion, this study identified the significant modules, signaling pathways, and hub genes relevant to OA and highlighted the potential clinical value of anisomycin and MG-262 as novel therapies in OA management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on sociodemographic differences in osteoarthritis management, particularly in non-African American (AA) minorities. We sought to identify differences in imaging modalities, administration of intra-articular injections, and total joint arthroplasty (TJA) between racial/ethnic groups. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients presenting to outpatient clinics with a diagnosis of hip or knee osteoarthritis from January 2013 to March 2020 at a tertiary center. Univariate analyses compared differences between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analyses determined sociodemographic predictors of imaging workup and treatment. RESULTS In total, 105,873 patients were included. There were 74,769 (70.6%) Caucasian, 27,117 (25.6%) AA, 1,878 (1.8%) Hispanic, 1,479 (1.4%) Asian, and 630 (0.6%) Native American patients. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that AAs had decreased odds of undergoing a knee magnetic resonance imaging (odds ratio [OR] 0.77, P < .001) or injection (OR 0.94, P = .006). Asian patients had lower odds of receiving any hip X-ray (OR 0.72, P = .047) or knee injection (OR 0.83, P = .017). AA (total knee arthroplasty [TKA]: OR 0.51, P < .001; total hip arthroplasty [THA]: OR 0.57, P < .001), Hispanic (TKA: OR 0.69, P = .003; THA: OR 0.60, P = .006), and Asian (TKA: OR 0.73, P = .010; THA: OR 0.56, P = .010) patients had lower odds of undergoing TJA compared to Caucasians. We found that higher income quartiles had greater odds of receiving a magnetic resonance imaging and TJA, males had lower odds of receiving injections and greater odds of undergoing TJA, and Medicaid and self-pay patients had lower odds of undergoing TJA (P < .05). CONCLUSION After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, we found disparities in the imaging, administration of injections, and/or arthroplasty for AA, Asian, and Hispanic patients. Insurance status, income, and gender were also associated with imaging and treatments performed in managing hip and knee osteoarthritis.

BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med 2022; 7:e001199.

Abstract
Objective Football players are at risk of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA). Cam morphology (present in almost two of every three football players) may explain this heightened risk, but there is limited research on its role in hip OA development in younger athletes. Knowledge of this relationship will advance our understanding of the aetiology of hip OA in football players. We aimed to study the relationship between cam morphology size and MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears, and if this relationship differs by symptomatic state in young adult football players. Methods For this case–control study, 182 (288 hips) symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 (110 hips) pain-free football players (soccer or Australian football) underwent anteroposterior and Dunn 45° radiographs, and 3-Tesla MRI. Cam morphology size was defined using alpha angle, and cartilage defects and labral tears were scored semiquantitatively. Presence, location and score (severity) of cartilage defects and labral tears were determined. Each participant completed the International Hip Outcome Tool 33 and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score. Results Greater alpha angle was associated with cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04) and labral tears (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04). Greater alpha angle was associated with superolateral cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05) and superior labral tears (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05). The association of alpha angle with MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears was no greater in football players with symptoms than in those without (p=0.189–0.937) Conclusion Cam morphology size was associated with cartilage defects and labral tears in young adult football players with and without pain. This study provides evidence that cam morphology may contribute to the high prevalence of hip OA in football players. Prospective studies of football players are now needed to establish if cam morphology causes progression of cartilage defects and labral tears and development of hip OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a disorder of joints featuring inflammation and degeneration of articular cartilage. Recently, miRs have been found to be associated in the regulation of chondrocytes and their apoptosis. miR-18a-3p has been found to be associated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, however, its role in articular cartilage tissues remains unclear. METHODS C57BL/6 strain of mice and human cartilage tissue were used for the study. Histological analysis was done on isolated cartilage samples followed by TUNEL assay and immunohistochemical analysis. The chondrocytes were isolated from mouse and human cartilage tissues, RNA was isolated and subjected for qRT-PCR analysis. The chondrocytes were transfected with miR-18a-3p agomir, antagomir and siHOXA-1. Luciferase assay was done in 293T cells. Flow cytometry analysis was done and western blot analysis for studying the expression of proteins. RESULTS The expression of miR-18a-3p was upregulated in chondrocytes after exposing them to interlukin- 1β (IL-1β) in vitro. The transfection of miR-18a-3p antagomir halted the IL-1β mediated apoptosis. The luciferase assay suggested that miR-18a-3p targets the 3'UTR region of HOXA1 gene thus blocking its expression. The treatment of HOXA1 siRNA demonstrated the rescuing effect of miR- 18a-3p antagomir on the apoptosis of chondrocytes. Treatment of miR-18a-3p antagomir attenuated the surface of cartilage in osteoarthritis mice and the agomir worsened it. TUNEL assay suggested decreased apoptosis and over-expression of HOAX1 in osteoarthritis mice post miR-18a-3p knockdown. CONCLUSION The findings confirmed the involvement of miR-18a-3p/HOXA1 pathway as a potential mechanism in the regulation of Osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare early hip osteoarthritis (OA) features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in high-impact athletes with and without hip and/or groin pain, and to evaluate associations between early hip OA features, the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT33) and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). DESIGN This case-control study evaluated data of the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort (FORCe). One hundred and eighty-two symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 pain-free high-impact athletes (soccer or Australian football (AF)) without definite radiographic hip OA underwent hip MRI. The Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) method quantified and graded the severity of OA features. Each participant completed the iHOT33 and HAGOS. RESULTS Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher total SHOMRI (0-96) (mean difference 1.4, 95% CI: 0.7-2.2), labral score (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) 1.33, 95% CI: 1.1-1.6). Differences in prevalence of cartilage defects, labral tears and paralabral cysts between symptomatic and pain-free participants were inconclusive. There was a lower prevalence of effusion-synovitis in symptomatic participants when compared to pain-free participants (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.46 (95% CI: 0.3-0.8). Early hip OA features were not associated with iHOT33 or HAGOS. CONCLUSIONS A complex and poorly understood relationship exists between hip and/or groin pain and early hip OA features present on MRI in high-impact athletes without radiographic OA. Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher SHOMRI and labral scores.

Abstract
Bone marrow lesions (BML) are painful changes in subchondral bone which can be reliably identified on magnetic resonance imaging and have been identified in patients suffering from hip osteoarthritis (OA) and related conditions. Created via repetitive microdamage at the articular surface and dysregulated subchondral healing, BML have been linked to traumatic, inflammatory, degenerative, metabolic and neoplastic processes. While BML are known to be a common pathology throughout the body, BML at the hip have not been extensively studied in comparison to those at the knee. Due to the hip’s unique biomechanical architecture, function and loading, and independent risk factors leading to hip OA, hip BMLs must be independently understood. The identification of BML in the setting of a pre-osteoarthritic condition may provide a target for treatment and prevention of joint degeneration. By continuing to define and refine the relationships between BML, subchondral bone cysts and OA, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of OA could shift, leading to an improved quality of life and increased longevity of individuals’ native hips.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and progression rate of radiographic hip osteoarthritis (OA) and its risk factors in Japanese men and women using a large-scale population of a nationwide cohort study, Research on Osteoarthritis/osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD). METHODS From the baseline survey of the ROAD study, 2,975 participants (1,043 men and 1,932 women) aged 23-94 years (mean, 70.2 years) living in urban, mountainous, and coastal communities were followed up with hip radiography at 3, 7, and 10 years (mean follow-up, 7.1 years). Radiographs were scored using the Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) grading system, and radiographic hip OA was defined as K/L ≥ 2. The incidence and progression rate of hip OA were examined. Acetabular dysplasia was defined as a central-edge angle <20°. Cox's proportional hazard model was used to assess risk factors for incident and progressive radiographic hip OA. RESULTS The incidence rate of radiographic hip OA was 5.6/1,000 person-years and 8.4/1,000 person-years in men and women, respectively. The progression rate of hip OA was 2.2/1,000 person-years and 6.0/1,000 person-years in men and women, respectively. The significant risk factors for incident hip OA were age, obesity, and acetabular dysplasia at baseline (hazard risk [HR] 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.08; 1.78, 1.10-2.75; 2.06, 1.30-3.17, respectively). The significant risk factors for progressive hip OA were baseline hip pain and acetabular dysplasia (HR 5.68, 95%CI 1.07-22.61; 14.78, 3.66-56.06, respectively). CONCLUSION Continued longitudinal surveys of the ROAD study will contribute to knowledge about and potential prevention of incident and progressive hip OA.

Abstract
Chondrocyte death due to apoptosis is central for osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. The family with sequence similarity 3A (FAM3A) is a mitochondrial protein that plays an important role for cellular adaptation to stress and cell survival. Yet, whether FAM3A is associated with chondrocyte apoptosis and OA pathogenesis remains uncharacterized. In this study, we found that FAM3A expression was downregulated in cartilage tissue from an experimental OA mouse model. Besides, FAM3A expression was also reduced in chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β), an inflammatory cytokine that promotes cartilage degradation. Moreover, we discovered that FAM3A attenuated chondrocyte apoptosis induced by IL-1β treatment in vitro, suggesting a protective effect of FAM3A against chondrocyte apoptosis. Moreover, mechanistically, FAM3A activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes, and blockade of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with specific inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, diminished FAM3A effect on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, hence demonstrating that FAM3A attenuates IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis through activating the pro-survival PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, our study may identify FAM3A as a potential regulator of chondrocyte apoptosis involved in OA pathogenesis.

NUCLEIC ACIDS 2018; 14:398-409. [PMID: 30731321 PMCID: PMC6365368 DOI: 10.1016/j.omtn.2018.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2018] [Revised: 12/19/2018] [Accepted: 12/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by degradation of the articular cartilage and joint inflammation. Studies have revealed the importance of microRNAs in the regulation of chondrocyte apoptosis. MicroRNA deep sequencing of control and osteoarthritic cartilage has revealed that miR-10a-5p is significantly upregulated in osteoarthritic tissues. However, its role in these tissues remains unknown. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of miR-10a-5p in promoting OA. miR-10a-5p expression was increased in chondrocytes after interleukin-1β treatment in vitro. Transfection with a miR-10a-5p inhibitor abrogated interleukin-1β-induced apoptosis. A luciferase activity assay showed that miR-10a-5p targeted the 3′ UTR of the homeobox gene HOXA1, inhibiting its expression. Treatment with HOXA1 siRNA reversed the rescuing effect of the miR-10a-5p inhibitor on chondrocyte apoptosis. Additionally, an OA model was established in mice by anterior cruciate ligament transection. AntagomiR-10a-5p improved the cartilage surfaces of osteoarthritic mice, whereas agomiR-10a-5p worsened them. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay indicated reduced apoptosis and increased HOXA1 expression in osteoarthritic mice after miR-10a-5p knockdown. These findings reveal a novel mechanism regulating OA progression and demonstrate the potential of miR-10a-5p and homeobox protein HOXA1 as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the clinical significance of increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake on PET/CT in joints for evaluation of symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and prediction of progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective study, shoulder, hip, and knee joints were imaged in 65 patients undergoing routine F-FDG PET/CT imaging. Patients completed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire to assess joint pain, stiffness, and physical function. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) were measured in hip, knee, acromioclavicular (AC), and glenohumeral (GH) joints. Scout PET/CT images were evaluated for OA using the Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) system. Patients were followed-up for 5 years to determine the progression of OA on the basis of follow-up imaging or surgical intervention. RESULTS SUV of knee (r=0.309, P=0.0003), hip (r=0.260, P=0.0027), AC (r=0.186, P=0.0313), and GH (r=0.191, P=0.0271) joints correlated with WOMAC overall scores. Furthermore, SUV of knee (r=0.410, P<0.0001), hip (r=0.203, P=0.0199), and AC (r=0.364, P<0.0001) joints correlated with K/L scores. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for SUV were 0.734 (knee), 0.678 (hip), 0.661 (AC), and 0.544 (GH) for symptomatic OA detection based on WOMAC overall z-score greater or equal to 2. Compared with K/L score [hazard ratio (HR)=0.798, P=0.5324], age (HR=0.992, P=0.8978), and WOMAC overall score (HR=1.089, P=0.1265), only SUV (HR=5.653, P=0.0229) was an independent predictor of OA progression in the knees. CONCLUSION F-FDG PET/CT may be helpful with localization of painful abnormalities in the inflamed regions of the joints, which could potentially be used to direct individualized treatment in moderate and severe OA. Furthermore, SUV measurement on F-FDG PET/CT could serve as an inflammation activity index in the knees that may be predictive of outcomes and progression rate of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a major cause of pain and disability. Recent work suggests that the global burden of OA is increasing, and costs associated with treatment are expected to increase dramatically as the aging human population expands. OA is currently diagnosed using radiography, but this technique is an indirect and insensitive measure of alterations in articular cartilage and fails to measure dynamic inflammatory processes in the joint. Radiographic changes detected overtime are small and occur in only a subset (progressors) of patients with OA. Therefore, we diagnose patients with OA on the basis of a diagnostic classification that is outdated. We also use the same tools and approaches for assessing the efficacy of new pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. In this review, we discuss the utility of soluble biochemical markers as biomarkers of OA and discuss whether we are close to using them in clinical practice. Combining patient information, functional imaging and carefully selected panels of biomarkers can help in achieving enhanced patient stratification and lead to better designed clinical trials. Biomarkers can be used for molecular endotyping and for developing more effective and more personalized treatments that will enhance clinical care for patients with OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the different morphologic types of the fovea capitis femoris and the spectrum of osseous spurs/osteophytes of the fovea in asymptomatic volunteers and patients with hip osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-five patients (mean age 63.6 years) with radiographically confirmed osteoarthritis of the hip and 59 asymptomatic healthy volunteers (mean age 33.9 years) underwent non-contrast MRI of the hip joint. Two radiologists independently evaluated all images. Fovea morphology (standard type, diamond type, flat type, triangular type) as well as the frequency, size and location of spurs/osteophytes of the fovea were assessed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. RESULTS The most frequent morphologic type of the fovea capitis femoris was the standard type for both asymptomatic volunteers (average 45%) and patients (average 49%). Osseous spurs were detected in 70% of the asymptomatic volunteers, and 97% of the patients had osteophytes. Spur size at all locations was significantly smaller in asymptomatic volunteers (range 1-2 mm) than osteophyte size in patients (range 1-4 mm) (p ≤ 0.035). In volunteers and patients, the spurs/osteophytes were most frequently located at the anterior border of the fovea capitis femoris. CONCLUSION Smaller osseous spurs (<2 mm) at the border of the fovea capitis femoris are very common in asymptomatic volunteers and do not seem to be pathologic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate radiographic measurements of the hip joint and their associations with hip pain, and the prevalence of acetabular dysplasia defined by radiographic measurements of the hip joint in Japanese men and women using the large-scale population-based cohort of the Research on Osteoarthritis/osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD) study. METHODS From the baseline survey of the ROAD study (cross-sectional study), 2963 participants (1040 men, 1923 women; mean age, 70.2 years) were analyzed. All participants underwent radiographic examinations of both hips using an anteroposterior view under weight-bearing. Minimum joint space width (mJSW), central-edge (CE) angle, acetabular depth-to-width ratio (ADR), and acetabular head index (AHI) were measured. Associations between these radiographic measurements and hip pain were assessed by calculating odds ratios (ORs) using multivariable logistic-regression analysis. Acetabular dysplasia was defined as a CE angle <20°. RESULTS Mean radiographic measurements of the hip joint for men were: mJSW, 3.8 mm; CE angle, 30.6°; ADR, 262.1 per 1000; and AHI, 81.4%. For women, these values were: mJSW, 3.4 mm; CE angle, 29.9°; ADR, 262.7 per 1000; and AHI, 81.2%. Associations were seen between hip pain and each of mJSW, CE angle, ADR, and AHI (OR 4.52, 95% confidence interval 3.45-5.97; 1.14, 1.11-1.18; 1.31, 1.24-1.40; and 1.15, 1.12-1.18, respectively). Acetabular dysplasia showed an overall prevalence of 13.9%, and was significantly more prevalent in women than in men (P = 0.012). CONCLUSION The present study of radiographic measurements of the hip joint showed that mJSW, CE angle, ADR, and AHI were associated with hip pain.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) as a debilitating affliction of joints currently affects millions of people and remains an unsolved problem. The disease involves multiple cellular and molecular pathways that converge on the progressive destruction of cartilage. Activation of cartilage regenerative potential and specific targeting pathogenic mediators have been the major focus of research efforts aimed at slowing the progression of cartilage degeneration and preserve joint function. This review will summarize recent key discoveries toward better understanding of the complex mechanisms behind OA development and highlight the latest advances in basic and clinical research in the approach for cartilage regeneration. Prospectively, more potent therapeutic strategies against progressive cartilage deterioration may use a combination of cytotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and bioscaffoldings for improved chondrogenic differentiation and stem/progenitor cell homing as well as the concomitant reduced enzymatic matrix degradation and inflammation. Further, treatments need to be provided with increased preciseness of targeted therapy. One might expect that the regenerative therapies could potentially control or even possibly cure OA if performed at early stages of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine whether dairy product consumption was associated with the incidence of total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS There were 38,924 participants from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study who had dairy product consumption recorded in 1990-1994. The incidence of total hip arthroplasty for OA during 2001-2013 was determined by linking cohort records to the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry. RESULTS Over an average of 11.8 years of followup, 1505 total hip arthroplasties for OA were identified (524 in men, 981 in women). In men, a 1 SD increase in dairy product consumption was associated with a 21% increased incidence of total hip arthroplasty for OA (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.10-1.33), with a dose-response relationship observed for quartiles of dairy product consumption (p for trend = 0.001). These results were independent of age, body mass index, country of birth, education, smoking status, vigorous physical activity, calcium supplementation, energy consumption, circulating 25-hydroxy vitamin D, hypertension, and diabetes. No significant association was observed for women (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.95-1.09). CONCLUSION Increasing dairy product consumption was associated with an increased risk of total hip arthroplasty for men with OA, with no significant association observed for women. Understanding the mechanisms may help identify strategies to prevent hip OA, particularly for men.

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein neoepitope in the synovial fluid of horses with acute lameness: A new biomarker for the early stages of osteoarthritis. Equine Vet J 2017; 49:662-667. [PMID: 28097685 PMCID: PMC5573946 DOI: 10.1111/evj.12666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2016] [Revised: 12/19/2016] [Accepted: 01/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Clinical tools to diagnose the early changes of osteoarthritis (OA) that occur in the articular cartilage are lacking. Objectives We sought to identify and quantify a novel cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) neoepitope in the synovial fluid from the joints of healthy horses and those with different stages of OA. Study design In vitro quantitative proteomics and assay development with application in synovial fluids samples obtained from biobanks of well‐characterised horses. Methods Articular cartilage explants were incubated with or without interleukin‐1β for 25 days. Media were analysed via quantitative proteomics. Synovial fluid was obtained from either normal joints (n = 15) or joints causing lameness (n = 17) or with structural OA lesions (n = 7) and analysed for concentrations of the COMP neoepitope using a custom‐developed inhibition enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Explants were immunostained with polyclonal antibodies against COMP and the COMP neoepitopes. Results Semitryptic COMP peptides were identified and quantified in cell culture media from cartilage explants. A rabbit polyclonal antibody was raised against the neoepitope of the N‐terminal portion of one COMP fragment (sequence SGPTHEGVC). An inhibition ELISA was developed to quantify the COMP neoepitope in synovial fluid. The mean concentration of the COMP neoepitope significantly increased in the synovial fluid from the joints responsible for acute lameness compared with normal joints and the joints of chronically lame horses and in joints with chronic structural OA. Immunolabelling for the COMP neoepitope revealed a pericellular staining in the interleukin‐1β‐stimulated explants. Main limitations The ELISA is based on polyclonal antisera rather than a monoclonal antibody. Conclusions The increase in the COMP neoepitope in the synovial fluid from horses with acute lameness suggests that this neoepitope has the potential to be a unique candidate biomarker for the early molecular changes in articular cartilage associated with OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Great advances in knowledge and understanding of the biomechanics of the hip, both in arthroscopic procedures and imaging techniques, have expanded and improved the diagnosis of pathologies of the young adult hip. The anatomy of the hip joint is complex due to its morphology and orientation. The inter-pretation of the images requires deep knowledge of the osseous and soft tissue anatomy: muscles, tendons, ligaments, vessels and nerves. There are multiple imaging tools. Diagnostic techniques have different utilities and often are complementary. METHODS In this article the various diagnostic imaging techniques for evaluation of hip pathologies are discussed, their indications and usefulness, with emphasis on those resolved arthroscopically. CONCLUSION Young adult hip disorders are increasingly diagnosed and treated as arthroscopic procedures improved. Radiology is a fundamental contribution in the diagnostic process. Plain radiography (X-ray) is always the initial examination. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V.

Abstract
Context: Radiography is widely accepted as the gold standard for diagnosing osteoarthritis (OA), but it has limitations when assessing early stage OA and monitoring progression. While there are improvements in the treatment of OA, the challenge is early recognition. Evidence Acquisition: MEDLINE and PubMed as well as professional orthopaedic and imaging websites were reviewed from 2006 to 2016. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide the most comprehensive assessment of joint injury and OA with the advantages of being noninvasive and multiplanar with excellent soft tissue contrast. However, MRI is expensive, time consuming, and not widely used for monitoring OA clinically. Computed tomography (CT) and CT arthrography (CTA) can also be used to evaluate OA, but these are also invasive and require radiation exposure. Ultrasound is particularly useful for evaluation of synovitis but not for progression of OA. Conclusion: MRI, CT, and CTA are available for the diagnosis and monitoring of OA. Improvement in techniques and decrease in cost can allow some of these modalities to be effective methods of detecting early OA.

Quantitative in vivo CT arthrography of the human osteoarthritic knee to estimate cartilage sulphated glycosaminoglycan content: correlation with ex-vivo reference standards. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2016; 24:1012-20. [PMID: 26851449 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2016.01.137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2015] [Revised: 12/24/2015] [Accepted: 01/19/2016] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, computed tomography arthrography (CTa) was introduced as quantitative imaging biomarker to estimate cartilage sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) content in human cadaveric knees. Our aim was to assess the correlation between in vivo CTa in human osteoarthritis (OA) knees and ex vivo reference standards for sGAG and collagen content. DESIGN In this prospective observational study 11 knee OA patients underwent CTa before total knee replacement (TKR). Cartilage X-ray attenuation was determined in six cartilage regions. Femoral and tibial cartilage specimens harvested during TKR were re-scanned using equilibrium partitioning of an ionic contrast agent with micro-CT (EPIC-μCT), which served as reference standard for sGAG. Next, cartilage sGAG and collagen content were determined using dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) and hydroxyproline assays. The correlation between CTa X-ray attenuation, EPIC-μCT X-ray attenuation, sGAG content and collagen content was assessed. RESULTS CTa X-ray attenuation correlated well with EPIC-μCT (r = 0.76, 95% credibility interval (95%CI) 0.64 to 0.85). CTa correlated moderately with the DMMB assay (sGAG content) (r = -0.66, 95%CI -0.87 to -0.49) and to lesser extent with the hydroxyproline assay (collagen content) (r = -0.56, 95%CI -0.70 to -0.36). CONCLUSIONS Outcomes of in vivo CTa in human OA knees correlate well with sGAG content. Outcomes of CTa also slightly correlate with cartilage collagen content. Since outcomes of CTa are mainly sGAG dependent and despite the fact that further validation using hyaline cartilage of other joints with different biochemical composition should be conducted, CTa may be suitable as quantitative imaging biomarker to estimate cartilage sGAG content in future clinical OA research.

Semin Arthritis Rheum 2016; 45:648-55. [PMID: 27162009 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2016.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2015] [Revised: 01/26/2016] [Accepted: 04/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the evolution of MR imaging findings in normal volunteers and subjects with hip osteoarthritis (OA) over 1.5 years described by the semi-quantitative Scoring Hip OA with MRI (SHOMRI) scoring system and their correlation with the evolution of clinical parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hip MRI studies of 18 subjects with [Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score = 2/3; mean age = 54.4 ± 11.2 years; 27.8% women] and 36 controls without radiographic OA [KL = 0/1; mean age = 43.7 ± 12.8 years; 50.0% women] were assessed at baseline and after 1.5 years by using SHOMRI, and their clinical status was evaluated by using Harris Hip Score and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). Imaging and clinical parameters at baseline and their change over time were compared between groups using Mann-Whitney U and Fisher׳s exact tests. Spearman׳s rank correlations and generalized linear models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and KL were used to assess associations between imaging and clinical findings. RESULTS At baseline, OA subjects had significantly higher SHOMRI total scores than controls [median (IQR): 12.5 (6-19.5) vs. 7 (4-13.5); p = 0.024]. Over 1.5 years, only the progression rate of subchondral cysts was significantly higher in OA subjects than in controls (16.7% vs. 0.0%; p = 0.033), while no significant differences were found for any of the other SHOMRI subscales. Baseline bone-marrow edema pattern (BMEP) was significantly associated with worsening pain (HOOS subscale; p = 0.018) and hip-related quality of life (HOOS subscale; p = 0.044). Progression of subchondral cysts was significantly associated with worsening symptoms other than pain (HOOS subscale, p = 0.030). Baseline KL did not significantly correlate with worsening of any clinical symptoms (each, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In this relatively young study population without or with mild to moderate radiographic hip OA, only minimal differences were found between groups regarding the progression of hip abnormalities as assessed by SHOMRI over 1.5 years. However, BMEP predicted clinical worsening and subchondral cyst progression was associated with worsening symptoms. Although longer follow-up periods are required, this suggests that SHOMRI is a useful tool to monitor hip abnormalities and their progression longitudinally.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Imaging of hip cartilage is challenging because of its limited thickness and complex geometry and therefore requires advanced MRI techniques. However, cartilage abnormalities are found in a number of disease entities, and their diagnosis may impact patient management. This article will provide pertinent information about the motivation to image hip cartilage, which imaging techniques to use, and how to analyze cartilage; finally, we will discuss disease entities with regional cartilage lesions, including the typical MRI findings. CONCLUSION Because the detection and quantification of regional cartilage abnormalities are critical for guidance of operative and nonoperative management of hip disorders, radiologists should be familiar with imaging and analysis techniques for assessing hip cartilage.

Quantitative 3D analysis of bone in hip osteoarthritis using clinical computed tomography. Eur Radiol 2015; 26:2047-54.

Abstract
Objective To assess the relationship between proximal femoral cortical bone thickness and radiological hip osteoarthritis using quantitative 3D analysis of clinical computed tomography (CT) data. Methods Image analysis was performed on clinical CT imaging data from 203 female volunteers with a technique called cortical bone mapping (CBM). Colour thickness maps were created for each proximal femur. Statistical parametric mapping was performed to identify statistically significant differences in cortical bone thickness that corresponded with the severity of radiological hip osteoarthritis. Kellgren and Lawrence (K&L) grade, minimum joint space width (JSW) and a novel CT-based osteophyte score were also blindly assessed from the CT data. Results For each increase in K&L grade, cortical thickness increased by up to 25 % in distinct areas of the superolateral femoral head–neck junction and superior subchondral bone plate. For increasing severity of CT osteophytes, the increase in cortical thickness was more circumferential, involving a wider portion of the head–neck junction, with up to a 7 % increase in cortical thickness per increment in score. Results were not significant for minimum JSW. Conclusions These findings indicate that quantitative 3D analysis of the proximal femur can identify changes in cortical bone thickness relevant to structural hip osteoarthritis. Key Points • CT is being increasingly used to assess bony involvement in osteoarthritis • CBM provides accurate and reliable quantitative analysis of cortical bone thickness • Cortical bone is thicker at the superior femoral head–neck with worse osteoarthritis • Regions of increased thickness co-locate with impingement and osteophyte formation • Quantitative 3D bone analysis could enable clinical disease prediction and therapy development Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00330-015-4048-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
