Background: Osteoarthritis is a slowly progressive disease of the diarthrodial joints. With articular cartilage degeneration, chondrocytes undergo mitosis and clustering. Degeneration changes its biomechanical, biochemical, structural properties. Numerous, non-invasive treatment options are available with emphasis on pain management, improvement in function potential to modify process progress ...

Objectives: To compare patients with symptomatic nodal hand osteoarthritis (OA) a control group in respect of inflammation parameters, uric acid, and hematological parameters. Methods: The study included 50 post-menopausal female patients, aged 40-80 years, diagnosed OA, females the same age range no OA. Patient data including age, monocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, thrombocyte counts, erythrocy...

Objective To examine the pain-reducing effects of intra-articular oxygen–ozone (O 2 O 3 ) injections and mechanical focal vibration (mFV) versus alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Patients chronic pain (>6 weeks) due to osteoarthritis (II–III on Kellgren–Lawrence scale) were consecutively enrolled divided into two groups: (n = 25) -mFV 24). The visual analog scale (VAS), Kne...

Patello-femoral joint stability is a complex problem and requires detailed anatomic parametric study for knowing the associated breakdowns of knee cartilage. Osteoarthritis one main disorders, which disrupt normal bio-mechanics patello-femoral diagnosing osteoarthritis radiologists needs lot time to diagnose it. An improved network called PSU-Net proposed automatic segmentation femoral, tibia, ...

Osteoarthritis is a chronic global and musculoskeletal disorder. This disease associated with reduced articular cartilage integrity. The most commonly affected joint the knee, followed by hand hip. Knee osteoarthritis aging, obesity, cartilage, fatigue, trauma, congenital deformities. Excess body weight factor that will exacerbate osteoarthritis. There are still meta-analysis studies involving ...

Introduction: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is now a reliable treatment for severe osteoarthritis. knee arthroplasty dependable and universally used operation. Primarily intended to alleviate pain in patients with arthritis, the procedure has undergone several modifications respect implant designs surgical techniques sole motive of providing long-term success rates. The aim this study was evalu...

Objectives: Golf has been associated with abnormal loading conditions to the knee joint due repetitiveness and biomechanical requirements of golf swing. This study seeks evaluate prevalence factors attributing symptomatic osteoarthritis among professional golfers in Kenya. Materials Methods: Participants included all Kenya above 18 years. Golfer’s demographics golf-related characteristics were ...
