" pincement des espaces articulaires " :

narrowing of the joint spaces

or: diminished joint spaces

" régions polaires supéro-externes " :

IMHO it refers to the shape of the femoral head

the " pôle supéro-externe " should be the upper outer part of the head

" en rapport avec "

facing, or related to,

" défaut de couverture externe "

if the pelvis is tilted forward (bascule) the femoral head losts its normal

relation to the " cotyle " (cup?) and is likely to be less covered by the hip

bone

" condensation des toits cotyloidiens " ....

could be a thickening due to increasing pressure (abnormal position of the

pelvis) but it doesn't seem to fit well in the context

> Nette bascule pelvienne.

the pelvis is tilted forward, I didn't find any " official " term for that,

characteristic position of older persons with joint diseases.

Anne's suggestions give me something to work further on.

of the hip joints, right? - coxo-fémoraux

= superolateral aspect of the femoral head?

= increased density of the acetabular roof/dome?

xrefer - acetabulum (cotyloid cavity)

.... acetabulum (cotyloid cavity), The semicircular cavity in the pelvic

girdle that houses the ball-shaped head of the femur. ...

Plenty of hits in Google for acetabular roof or acetabular dome.

Hope this helps.
