Abstract
Predicting articular cartilage pathology in the hip with radiographic joint space has been unreliable for patients having joint spaces >2 mm in width. Joint space width is a tool that can be used, but with some limitation. Other methods of investigation such as magnetic resonance imaging should be used in conjunction with radiographic joint space.
