[The significance of tomography in the x-ray diagnosis of coxarthrosis (author's transl)].

Authors have made besides routine roentgenograms tomograms too in 50 patients with coxarthrosis of various severeness. For an assessment of the diagnostic value of tomography the routine roentgenograms and the tomograms were analysed comparatively. The investigations have shown that the tomography may give in certain cases great help in the judgement of progression and in the correct indication of operative methods in hip surgery.
