Relationship to Osteoarthrosis of the Hip" (79-A: 1489—1497, Oct. 1997), by Goodman et al., which was based on extensive measurement of intact femora from a cohort of skeletons of individuals who were born around the turn of the century. The authors clearly showed that there were more osteophytes in the 8 percent of the specimens that had a so-called subclinical slip deformity than there were in the specimens that did not have this deformity.
