Background: Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of disability in older population. Disability caused by pain and limitations mobility. Total knee arthroplasty, which aims to relieve improve joint function mobility, main surgical alternative this patient population.Aim work: The aim work compare functional radiological outcomes proximal fibular osteotomy medial compartment decompression, wit...

The aim of this study was to determine if microfractures improve the outcome of high tibial osteotomy in patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis in genu varum. Forty patients presenting with Outerbridge grade III and IV chondropathies on the femoral and/or the tibial joint surface underwent high tibial osteotomy with Puddu plates (Arthrex, Inc, Naples, Florida) for primary medial comp...

Abstract The aim of this study was to report patellar groove replacement in a 6-year-old domestic short hair cat with chronic unilateral pelvic limb lameness and severe femoro-patellar osteoarthritis due medial luxation. This is case report. Computed tomographic scan the affected revealed marked periarticular osteophytosis, trochlear ridge erosion, flattening femoral trochlea, ectopic pseudo-tr...

Objective. Impaired hip motion has been associated with heightened medial knee joint loading in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). A hip external rotation strap designed to pull the femur into external rotation and abduction may serve as one protective mechanism. The primary aim of our study is to determine if the strap decreases medial knee joint loading during level walking in people wit...

The outcome of arthroscopic medial release of 255 knees in 173 patients for varying grades of osteoarthritis involving the medial compartment is reported. All operations were performed by a single surgeon between January 2001 and May 2003. The Knee Society score for pain and the patient's subjective satisfaction were used for the outcome evaluation. Overall, satisfactory outcome was reported fo...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative musculoskeletal disease highly prevalent in aging societies worldwide. Traditionally, knee OA is diagnosed using conventional radiography. However, structural changes of articular cartilage or menisci cannot be directly evaluated using this method. On the other hand, ultrasound is a promising tool able to provide direct information on soft tissue deg...
