Osteoarthritis is the most common type of hip Arthritis. Also called wear-and-tear arthritis or degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. As the protective cartilage is worn away by hip arthritis, bare bone is exposed within the joint.
You are more likely to get it if you have a family history of the disease. Congenital or developmental defects like acetabular dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, slipped capital epiphysis may be implicated in as may as 80 percent of cases of hip osteoarthritis.
Risk increases with obesity or a previous hip injury.
About twenty percent of patients with osteoarthritis of hip would develop bilateral involvement.
