Abstract
Purpose: Ultrasound imaging is increasingly used in research to provide insight into the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), but has been criticized for the lack of validation and a high degree of operator dependence. Few previous studies have investigated the reliability of hip ultrasound. Since acceptable reliability are an important precursor to diagnostic or epidemiologic studies using ultrasound, the objectives of this study were 1) to assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability on ultrasound findings frequently present in patients with hip OA and 2) to assess agreement between ultrasound and radiologic findings related to hip OA.
