Summary
This study looked at 72 people with hip osteoarthritis to see if X-ray findings match how they feel day-to-day. Researchers measured pain, stiffness, physical function, and balance, then compared those to X-ray severity scores. The goal was to better understand the connection between what doctors see on X-rays and what patients actually experience.
