Coxa plana - what does this mean
Coxa plana is a rare bone disorder in which the femoral head (the top of the thighbone) flattens and loses its normal round shape. the cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
What happens during the disease - coxa plana
Coxa plana is a disorder of the hip joint characterized by a flattened femoral head. it is caused by abnormal development of the hip joint in childhood, often due to a lack of physical activity, trauma, or a congenital defect. this leads to a decrease in the normal joint cartilage and a flattening of the femoral head. this can lead to pain, muscle weakness, and decreased range of motion in the hip joint.
