Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound to Evaluate Mild Hip Osteoarthritis: Comparison With Radiography and <scp>MRI</scp>
US and CR demonstrated similar moderate diagnostic capability in detecting mild HOA compared to MRI, and both the US sum score and KL grades were associated with increased hip pain. With US and CR demonstrating different aspects of HOA, our findings support the complementary role of US in evaluating patients with suspected HOA.
