Hi i do care for your concern.
The study shows that the place at the meeting of hip joint and femur (leg bone) is undergoing degeneration.
The blood supply particularly to right side is compromised.
These changes occurs in old age.
If you have consistent pain or difficulty in walking its advisable to consult your orthopaedician and discuss further course of management.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
