Hip Arthritis: AI-Powered Imaging Assessment
Upload hip X-rays or MRI for AI assessment of osteoarthritis severity, joint space, and cartilage status. Comprehensive grading included.
Overview
Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte formation, and subchondral bone changes. It is a leading cause of disability and joint replacement surgery. Imaging assessment includes radiographic grading (Kellgren-Lawrence, Tonnis), measurement of joint space width, and MRI evaluation of cartilage status and bone marrow changes. Our AI consortium provides comprehensive grading and identifies features relevant to treatment decisions and arthroplasty planning.
Common Symptoms
- Groin pain that may radiate to the thigh or knee
- Progressive stiffness with reduced range of motion
- Difficulty with daily activities like putting on shoes or socks
- Pain worsening with weight-bearing activity
- Limp or antalgic gait pattern
- Night pain in advanced disease
- Loss of hip internal rotation
Key Imaging Findings
- Joint space narrowing, typically superolateral in primary OA
- Marginal osteophyte formation at the femoral head-neck junction and acetabular rim
- Subchondral sclerosis and cyst formation
- Femoral head flattening or deformity in advanced disease
- Cartilage thinning and loss on MRI
- Bone marrow edema indicating active disease on MRI
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tonnis classification for hip arthritis?
The Tonnis classification grades hip OA on radiographs: Grade 0 (no signs), Grade 1 (mild sclerosis, slight narrowing, minimal osteophytes), Grade 2 (small cysts, moderate narrowing, moderate osteophytes), Grade 3 (large cysts, severe narrowing or obliteration, severe osteophytes). Our AI applies this grading when analyzing hip X-rays.
