Abstract
Subtle positional changes in the hip, such as may occur during pain or in OA, may artifactually alter the measured radiographic JSW. Thus, longitudinal studies which employ hip JSW to assess disease progression may yield biased results due to changes in pain rather than structure unless care is taken to ensure constant positioning of the hip.
