Abstract:
We tried to determine the natural history of the hip and select the optimal treatment in 64 patients (94 hips with subluxation or dysplastic hips followed for more than ten years). Patients were classified into advanced and non-advanced groups according to radiographic analysis of the stage of the disease. Fourteen out of 43 hips (33%) developed early osteoarthritis (early OA) from pre-osteoarthritis (pre-OA) within an average of 9.4 years, while 34 out of 50 hips (68%) developed advanced-stage OA from early OA within an average of 7.7 years. In pre-OA, the CE angle, slope of the acetabular roof, acetabular head index, acetabular depth ratio and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip score were significant predictors, while in early OA, a broken Shenton's line, cranial joint space and JOA score were significant.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
