Epidemiological evidence for work load as a risk factor for osteoarthritis of the hip: a systematic review.

<h4>Objective</h4>Osteoarthritis of the hip (OA) is a common degenerative disorder of the joint cartilage that presents a major public health problem worldwide. While intrinsic risk factors (e.g, body mass and morphology) have been identified, external risk factors are not well understoo...
