Coxarthrosis - degenerative disease of the hip joint - grading of osteoarthrosis (modified Kellgren and Lawrence grades)
This is an alternative grading system for degenerative disease of the hip joint - coxarthrosis. Rather than giving percentage of joint space narrowing, it preferes descriptive approach to the typical degenerative changes of the hip joint.
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| Grade I | medial joint space narrowing, beginning osteophytes |
| Grade II | inferomedial joint space narrowing, marked osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis |
| Grade III | marked joint space narrowing, osteophytes, sclerosis, subchondral cysts both in acetabulum and femoral head, deformation of the acetabulum and femoral head |
| Grade IV | absent joint space, sclerosis, cysts, deformation |
