Altman's Clinical Criteria for Hip OA

sen=0.86, spec 0.75

How I remember this:
1. Hip OA has 5 letters, so there are 5 criteria
2. Typically, your hips come in a pair (I'm adding an S to get all 5 criteria in)

P: PAIN, in the hip
A: AGE > 50 y/o
*IR: < 15 degrees, and PAIN with IR
S: stiffness in the morning up to 60 minutes

*there are two criteria

  1. Great job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. There tend to be not many people who can certainly write not so simple posts that artistically. Continue the nice writing hip pain
