Implication

This study compares ultrasound and radiography diagnostic performance for mild hip osteoarthritis with MRI, suggesting ultrasound's complementary role.

Key Points

Ultrasound and radiography show similar moderate diagnostic performance compared to MRI for mild HOA.
The correlation between the ultrasound score and Kellgren-Lawrence grades is moderate (r = 0.449).
Increased hip pain is associated with both the ultrasound score and Kellgren-Lawrence grades.
Ultrasound provides a complementary evaluation approach alongside conventional radiography for suspected HOA.
