This is an image of DJD or OA of the hip
which should be differentiated from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Note the joint space is almost completely obliterated. There
is still a hint of joint space medially but the superior portion
is completely destroyed. The supralateral aspects are going
to be affected most because the weight is transfered through
the roof of the acetabulum. Note the sclerosis and oseophyte
formation (arrow).
