Joint Pain Undergoes a Transition in Accordance with Signal Changes of Bones Detected by MRI in Hip Osteoarthritis
A 67-year-old woman, 153 cm tall, and weighing 54 kg visited our hospital. She had fallen and experienced bone fractures in her wrist before she visited our hospital. At her first visit, she complained of right hip joint pain (P4). Plain radiographs showed OA at KL grading III (Fig. ). Since then, joint pain has shown repeated remission and deterioration. However, her pain has recently much decreased (P0). Recent plain radiographs also showed OA at KL grading III. Recent hip MRI showed no signal changes in right hip joints (Fig. , ).
