Abstract

Coxarthrosis, or hip osteoarthritis (OA), is one of the main causes of hip pain, which can affect patients of all ages, being one of the most common reasons for patients presenting to the specialized outpatient clinic. The objective of our research was to determine the number of patients with coxarthrosis who presented to the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology within the Emergency County Hospital of Drobeta Turnu Severin, between 2017-2019, the sex, age, social environment of the patients. All patients underwent a thorough clinical examination to determine the risk factors, the favouring factors and their correlation with the paraclinical data obtained through imaging investigation (pelvis X-ray, computer tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance). The study included 462 patients, aged between 23 and 89 years old, who were diagnosed with varying degrees of coxarthrosis within the specialized outpatient clinic. The main risk factors were obesity, osteoporosis, chronic smoking, rural environment, female sex, the existence of a hip injury and intense physical exertion. The main purpose of the research was to analyse a series of data, which would bring information on the incidence, distribution by age groups, sex, living environment and professional activity of the population with coxarthrosis, in order to develop a therapeutic management as effective as possible.

Keywords: Coxarthrosis; obesity; physiotherapy; risk factors; treatment.
