Expression of Acetabular Labral Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Is Directly Associated with Hip Osteoarthritis Pain: Investigation by Immunohistochemical Staining

Expression of Acetabular Labral Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Is Directly Associated with Hip Osteoarthritis Pain: Investigation by Immunohistochemical Staining

The acetabular labrum enhances hip joint stability and plays a key role in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Labral nerve endings contribute to hip OA pain. Moreover, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are associated with pain. Consequently, we analysed VEGF and N...
