Abstract
Purpose: Previously, we used statistical shape modelling (SSM) of hip dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to examine associations between two-dimensional (2D) whole hip shape and radiographic hip osteoarthritis (rHOA). A limitation in this approach is that it is difficult to know precisely which aspects of shape underlie the relationships we observed. We aimed to define which shape characteristics are related to rHOA in more detail, by examining individual subregions of the hip, and utilising three-dimensional (3D) hip shape derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans to validate our findings.
