Effects of non-pharmacological conservative treatment on pain, range of motion and physical function in patients with mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis. A systematic review.

TL;DR: High quality of evidence showed that manual therapy and exercise therapy are effective in improving pain, hip range of motion and physical function, however, high quality studies based on combined therapies showed controversy in their effects on pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining hip pain trajectories in early symptomatic hip osteoarthritis--5 year results from a nationwide prospective cohort study (CHECK).

TL;DR: Lower education, higher activity limitation scores, frequent use of pain transformation as coping strategy and painful internal hip rotation were more often associated with trajectories characterized by more severe pain, suggesting there are differences in symptomatic progression of hip OA.

Health-related quality of life and clinical outcomes following medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy: a prospective study

TL;DR: Lower preoperative mental component score results in reduced postoperative clinical outcome and prolonged duration of incapacity for work after HTO, and in contrast to PCS, MCS showed comparable values to the normal population within 6 months afterHTO.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
