How The VA Rates Hip Osteoarthritis

 

Learn how the VA rates hip osteoarthritis and how range of motion can affect a veteran’s disability evaluation. This video explains Diagnostic Code 5003 and the key hip codes—DC 5251, 5252, and 5253—including flexion, extension, rotation, adduction, and abduction.

Vets Portal explains the 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% rating levels, what evidence VA may consider, and why actual hip motion and functional impairment can matter more than the amount of arthritis seen on an X-ray.
