A review of a series of experiments using quantitative sensory testing in persons with hip osteoarthritis before and after replacement and controls. Authors report that pain thresholds are lower in hip osteoarthritis patients even at sites distant from their hips and that this altered sensitivity resolves after the hip replacement.
