What Does Hydroxyapatite Deposition Mean?
I have an xray of my left hip, findings were abnormal morphology to the left femoral head which is broad and mildly flattended. In the setting of acute onset severe hip pain, this raised posibility of hydroxyapatite deposition. Can you advise me what this means please. My doctor is away, should I see another practitioner or can this be fixed with physio treatment

Hi,
The hydroxyapatite deposition is a kind of Calcium deposition on the site. It may cause you Pseudo gout symptoms. I would suggest you visit a physiotherapist it will be cured with Physio sessions. Some NSAIDs will help to reduce pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Sunny Anand, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
