Abstract
Ultrasonic research of hip joints is performed at 103 patients (185 joints), showing complaints to pain in this area. The control group consisted of 30 healthy people. Middle age in each group - 42,4±5,6 years. The condition of a contour and sphericity of a femoral head, a thickness of a joint capsule, and width of joint space were studied. Normal density of the articular lip (fibrous cartilaginous ring) on the anterior-lateral hip surface (20-23 c.u.) and the quantitative indices of the first (24-28 c.u.) and second (29-32 c.u.) grades of osteoarthrosis were using General Measurements program by H histogram method. The authors developed and approved the technique of the directed introduction of chondroprotectors into the area of the degenerative process under ultrasonography control.
