Description:
<jats:p> 1. Osteotomy for osteoarthritis of the hip induces a fibrin layer over the exposed bone which forms the basis of a fibrocellular protective mantle that can differentiate towards cartilage. </jats:p><jats:p> 2. The process is accompanied by bone remodelling, which reduces sclerosis, resolves osteolytic foci and, in company with bone formation in the fibrous mantle, restores the subchondral plate. </jats:p><jats:p> 3. Many important aspects of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and of its partial repair by osteotomy remain to be elucidated. </jats:p>
