Validity of joint space width measurements in hand osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the validity of joint space width (JSW) measurements in millimeters (mm) in hand osteoarthritis (OA) patients by comparison to controls, grading of joint space narrowing (JSN), and clinical features. METHODS Hand radiographs of 235 hand OA patients (mean age 65 years, 83% women) and 471 controls were used. JSW was measured with semi-automated image analysis software i...
متن کاملFactors affecting radiographic progression of knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic significance of patient characteristics and radiographic features at the knee for outcome of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS This was a prospective observational study of 350 osteoarthritic knees. Clinical and radiographic data were obtained on 188 hospital referred patients (mean age 70, range 34-91 years). RESULTS Median duration of follow up was two yea...
متن کاملComparison of 2 Radiographic Techniques for Measurement of Tibiofemoral Joint Space Width
BACKGROUND No consensus is available regarding the best method for measuring tibiofemoral joint space width (JSW) on radiographs to quantify joint changes after injury. Studies that track articular cartilage thickness after injury frequently use patients' uninjured contralateral knees as controls, although the literature supporting this comparison is limited. PURPOSE (1) To compare JSW measur...
متن کاملOsteoarthritis of the hip: agreement between joint space width measurements on standing and supine conventional radiographs.
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of standing position on joint space width (JSW) measurements of the hips with and without osteoarthritis (OA) on pelvic radiographs. METHODS Adult patients aged 18 or more had pelvic anteroposterior conventional radiographs standing and supine performed by a single radiologist in the same radiology unit according to standardised guidelines. JSW measurements in m...
متن کاملRadiographic assessment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in the community: definitions and normal joint space.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate radiographic features of osteoarthritis (OA) to determine which is more closely associated with knee pain and hence might be used as a radiographic definition of OA in the community. To evaluate joint space width in normal subjects. METHODS 452 subjects from a case-control community study of knee pain (294 women, 158 men, mean age 62 years, range 40-80) underwent AP stan...
