Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant disease worldwide that causes functional impairment and reduced quality of life. With the aging of the population and the increasing prevalence of obesity, its disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. In December 2023, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) released the updated Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Hip Osteoarthritis. Based on evidence-based medicine, this guideline provides systematic recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of hip OA. This article will comprehensively interpret the guideline, compare it with relevant domestic expert consensus in China, analyze the consistency and differences in disease management strategies between the two, and provide references for clinical practice.
