OBJECTIVE: To determine the application of the modified Oxford score among @entity1 with proximal femoral @entity1610 (PFES) as an aid to indicating prophylactic surgical treatment on the contralateral hip. METHODS: Retrospective analysis on the medical files of @entity1 attended at the institution where the authors work. From these, @entity1 attended between 2008 and 2011 who presented unilateral PFES and were followed up for a minimum of two years were selected. @entity1 were excluded if they presented @entity4903 , @entity209 , @entity1467 or radiographs that were inadequate for determining the modified Oxford score. The initial radiographs received scores ranging from 16 to 26. Statistical analysis was used to determine whether the scoring was predictive of future development of @entity717 . RESULTS: Among the 15 @entity1 with unilateral PFES that were selected, five (33.3%) evolved with @entity717 . The @entity1 were divided into two groups. Four @entity1 were considered to present risk and three of them developed @entity717 . In the group that was considered not to present risk, there were 11 @entity1 and two of these evolved with @entity717 . Thus, there was a tendency for the @entity1 in the group that developed the disease to differ from the group that did not develop it, in relation to the risk classification. CONCLUSION: Although application of the modified Oxford score was not statistically significant in our sample, we noted a tendency toward @entity717 among hips with low scores.
