Kellgren Lawrence Radiographic grade
Scale of joint space narrowing
Baseline grade is important predictive factor for having a THA
Grade I Kellgren/Lawrence
Doubtful narrowing of joint space and possible osteophytic lipping
Grade II Kellgren/Lawrence
Definite Osteophytes, definite narrowing of joint space
Strong predictor of hip OA progression
Grade III Kellgren/Lawrence
Moderate multiple osteophytes, definite narrowing of joint space, some sclerosis and possible deformity of bony contour
.3 odds ratio of having a THA
Grade IV Kellgren/Lawrence
Large osteophytes, marked narrowing of joint space
5.3 odds ratio that pt. would have a THA
Sign of the Buttock
Positive is a Red Flag
Straight leg raise equal leg flexed or extended
Possible neoplasm, septic bursitis, sacral fx, ischiogluteal bursititis
