We have measured the dynamic movement of the lumbar spine in 57 patients with degenerative lumbar disc disease. Each completed a questionnaire which recorded pain and subjective signs and symptoms. From plain lateral radiographs, the subjects were graded using the criteria of Kellgren and Lawrence and those of Lane et al, which are both based on the severity of degenerative changes. Measurement...

BACKGROUND The influence of pre-existing radiographic osteoarthritis on the functional outcome of elderly patientents with displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck treated by hemiarthroplasty is unclear. METHODS We prospectively examined the impact of pre-existing osteoarthritis on the functional outcome of 126 elderly patients with displaced intracapsular fracture of the femoral...

We report a study of 112 patients with primary anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee and their families. Sibling risk was determined using randomly selected single siblings. Spouses were used as controls. The presence of symptomatic osteoarthritis was determined using an Oxford knee score of > or= 29 supported by a Kellgren and Lawrence radiological score of II or greater. Using Fisher's exac...

The prevalence of a symptomatic knee or osteoarthritis (OA) is approximately 9.6% in men and 18.0% women over 60 years age according to the OARSI 2016 report. Using early on-stage clinical qualitative assessments through means X-ray scans, cartilage health degradation an individual can be monitored shape surface time. In this paper, we implement application transfer learning models such as Ince...

Knee osteoarthritis is a significant cause of physical inactivity and disability. Early detection treatment (OA) degeneration can decrease its course. Physicians’ scores may differ significantly amongst interpreters are greatly influenced by personal experience based solely on visual assessment. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) in conjunction with the Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grading syst...

All current studies of rheumatoid arthritis are hindered by the lack of a precise definition of the disease. Patients in an arthritis clinic are selected, so that those with mild or short-lived forms of the disease are probably rarely seen. Because of this, better definition of rheumatoid arthritis is being sought through epidemiological studies. Four approaches are available, either separately...

BACKGROUND Chemokines are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). CCL18, a member of the chemokines family, is observed in synovial fluid (SF) of OA patients. The aim of this study was to determine the association between CCL18 levels in serum and SF with radiographic knee OA. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was conducted in a population of 308 patients with knee OA. The radiolog...

The founders of the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc) Epidemiology Unit were Kellgren and Lawrence. Their initial work was conducted in miners and then in the general population. They pioneered standardized methods of interview, examination and X-ray evaluation. They also played a key role in the early development of classification criteria for use in epidemiological surveys. The second directo...

BACKGROUND Nesfatin-1, a member of the adipokine family, has been detected in synovial fluid (SF) from OA patients. This study aimed to determine whether there is a marked correlation of nesfatin-1 levels in serum and SF of knee OA patients with the disease severity of OA. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional research enrolled 202 knee OA subjects. The Kellgren-Lawrence grading system wa...

Methods: As the Multicenter ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) Revision Study (MARS) Group, we conducted a multicenter, prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients undergoing revision surgery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We followed 632 patients who underwent radiographic evaluation of the knee (an anteroposterior weight-bearing radiograph, a posteroanterior weight-beari...
