Hip Osteoarthritis: A Primer [PDF]
The objective of this article is to deliver a concise up-to-date review on hip osteoarthritis. We describe the epidemiology (disease distribution), etiologies (associated risk factors), symptoms, diagnosis and classification, and treatment options for hip osteoarthritis. A quiz serves to assist readers in their understanding of the presented material.

HIP osteoarthritis and work [PDF]
Epidemiological evidence points strongly to a hazard of hip osteoarthritis from heavy manual work. Harmful exposures may be reduced by the elimination or redesign of processes and the use of mechanical aids. Reducing obesity might help to protect workers whose need to perform heavy lifting cannot be eliminated.

Editorial: Neuromechanics of Hip Osteoarthritis [PDF]
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) adversely affects the quality of life of millions of people worldwide and imposes a substantial burden on related healthcare systems (Murphy et al., 2010). Rates of total hip replacement are escalating, highlighting the urgent need to improve evidence-based non-surgical treatments for people with hip OA.
