Grade Description 0: No osteoarthritis signs 1: Mild: increased osteosclerosis; minor joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [7] no or minor loss of head sphericity; 2: Moderate: small bone cyst; moderate joint space narrowing; moderate loss of head sphericity; 3: Severe: large bone cysts
Intermediate grade 1 shows mild sclerosis of the head and acetabulum, slight joint space narrowing, and marginal osteophyte lipping. Grade 2 presents with small cysts in the femoral head or acetabulum, moderate joint space narrowing, and moderate loss of sphericity of the femoral head.

[1] [2] Risk is greater in those who are overweight, have legs of different lengths, or have jobs that result in high levels of joint stress. [1] [2] [8] Osteoarthritis is believed to be caused by mechanical stress on the joint and low grade inflammatory processes. [9] It develops as cartilage is lost and the underlying bone becomes affected. [1]
Modic changes Type 2 contains high levels of fat associated with degeneration of the bone marrow, microfractures of the trabeculae, disruption of the endplates, and immunoreactive nerve fibers and TNF alpha cells.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip.. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft.
