Summary:The purpose of this study was to evaluate lumber spine scoliosis and sacroiliac joint in osteoarthritis of the hip. We investigated 45 patients who underwent primary THA in our hospital between January 2002 and May 2004. The subjects had a mean age of 63 years. The rate of scoliosis was 56%, 68% of whom had osteoarthritis of the hip. The rate of sclerotic sacroiliac joint was 67%, 57% of which was at the intact side. We think that both changes were compensatory.
