Abstract
CT scan can easily display cross-sectional anatomy of the acetabulum joint space and head femur providing a third dimension (axial projection) which leads to better assessment of lesion within or related to the hip joint. The material of this study included 103 patients of different ages and sexes with various hip joint complaints presented at the orthopaedic and physical Medicine Departments, and they were reffered for Radiology Department. All our patients were subjected to thorough clinical examination, plain radiographs and CT scan of hips. In some cases, other radiographs and CT scan of hips. In some cases. other radiological or laboratory investigations were carried out for more evaluation or confirming the suspected diagnosis. The 103 patients included in this study were calssified into 8 groups according to the nature of the pathology aiming to assess the value of CT scan in each group in comparison with conventional radiography. These groups were: Congenital dislocation hip (8 patients = 7.77%), traumatic hip joint (27 patients = 26.21%), infective arthritis (14 patients = 13.59%), degenerative arthritis and collagen disorders (10 patients = 9.71%), avascular necrosis.
