The bones are left without cartilaginous protection, they are exposed, the load on them increases and their deformation occurs. Arthrosis of the hip joint for this reason is called deforming. In addition to these changes, there is a violation of blood circulation, the muscles around the joint receive less blood, their metabolism is disturbed, and their atrophy occurs.
