Various types of hip lesion associated with long-term haemodialysis have been observed. We present a new radiological classification system of haemodialysis-related hip arthropathy.
In total, 103 hip lesions were analyzed in 84 patients undergoing haemodialysis for more than ten years. The hip lesions were classified into 3 types; Type I - cystic type with further subdivisions based on cyst location, Type II - arthritic type, and Type III - deformity of the femoral head.
Surgery was performed on 60 hips. We believe our classification system assists decision making on behalf of these patients.
