Medial tibiofemoral OA on the THA side was less likely to deteriorate than on the non-THA side. The reduced vulnerability to OA progression on the THA side may be due to the lower offset and resultant lateral shift in mechanical axes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
