Assessment of the pain syndrome and coxarthrosis manifestation degree using different scales and tests

Abstract

Many authors assess the pain syndrome manifestation and the hip osteoarthrosis degree by using different scales and tests, that sometimes leads to difficulties in comparison of the study results. The comparison of VAS values and MacGill, Lecken, Womac, Harris indices in 69 patients with coxarthrosis of 2-3 stage has been made. Correlation coefficients and regression equations have been revealed while comparing different values, including those for comparing with radiologic osteoarthrosis degree assessment.
