Risk Factors for Radiographic Tibiofemoral Knee Osteoarthritis: The Wuchuan Osteoarthritis Study
Objective. To investigate the risk factors of radiographic tibiafemoral knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Wuchuan County. A questionnaire and bilateral weight-bearing posterior-anterior semi-flexed knee radiographs were completed and read for Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) grade and joint space narrowing (JSN; 0-3 scale) in each compartme...
متن کاملMalalignment: a possible target for prevention of incident knee osteoarthritis in overweight and obese women.
OBJECTIVES The present study aims to investigate the associations between malalignment and incident knee OA after 2.5 years in a high-risk group of 333 middle-aged overweight women (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m(2)) free of clinical and radiological knee OA at baseline. METHODS The primary outcome measure was the incidence of knee OA, defined as the incidence of radiographic knee OA (Kellgren and Lawrence gr...
متن کاملThe Effects of Unloader Knee Orthosis and Lateral Wedge Insole in Patients with Mild and Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Objectives: Patients suffering from mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis may be treated with unloader knee orthoses or laterally wedged insoles. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the effects of two orthoses in these patients. Methods: 56 patients with medial compartment knee OA were evaluated when wearing an unloader knee orthosis and insoles with a 6° lateral wedge which wer...
متن کاملVarus-valgus Alignment in the Progression of Knee Oa
Introduction. Most of the epidemiologic literature concerning OA deals with risk factors for the initial development of arthritis. However, in a large subset of people, knee OA remains a relatively mild condition. The form of knee OA responsible for the bulk of individual and societal cost is OA that progresses beyond mild stages. Identification of factors responsible for progression is critica...
متن کاملSimultaneous Bilateral Knee Valgus Stress Radiographic Technique
The medial collateral ligament is the most commonly injured knee ligament. Valgus stress radiographs are reported to be an effective way to quantify the medial compartment opening. However, most of the techniques require the presence of a physician in the radiograph room to apply a manual valgus stress force, and can only be performed in 1 knee at a time. These techniques, although extremely ef...
