Leitsymptom ist meist der Leistenschmerz

Abstract

The principal symptom of coxarthrosis is mostly pain in the groin. The patient often has a limping gait. The patient notices an increasing restriction in the mobility of the hips and the ability to walk. It must be borne in mind that knee pain can also be the only primary symptom of hip disease. Standard radiographs should be always taken from two different views. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are still reserved for special problems in the diagnosis of coxarthrosis.
