Purpose. To investigate the association of cumulative lifetime knee joint force on the risk of self-reported medically-diagnosed knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Exposure data on lifetime physical activity type (occupational, household, sport/recreation) and dose (frequency, intensity, duration) were collected from 4,269 Canadian men and women as part of the Physical Activity and Joint Heath ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis found in the United States [1]. The knee joint is the most frequently affected joint with estimates of 37% of adults over 60 years of age having radiographic evidence of knee OA and 12% having symptoms related to knee OA accompanying radiographic findings [2]. The incidence and prevalence of this debilitating disease combined with lack of...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of a knee osteoarthritis model through functional, radiological and microscopic changes of the synovial membrane. METHODS: Forty eight rats were divided randomly into two groups. The first received 0.9% saline in the joint and corresponded to the control group. The second was submitted to experimental osteoarthritis of the right knee induced by monosodium i...

conclusions significant improvement was noted at womac scale (pain level; 5 points, stiffness level; 2 points, physical function loss; 15 points, and total womac 22 points). osteoarthritis level of the patient was improved to grade i at radiological evaluation after a year. our case is the report that presents radiological evidence in addition to clinical findings of improvement of osteoarthrit...

All visits to physicians in the Orivesi Region Federation of Municipalities for Public Health Work in Finland paid due to symptomatic osteoarthrosis of the knee joint were prospectively recorded over a period of one year. Two hundred and thirty four visits were made, accounting for 0.63% of all visits. The prevalence of knee osteoarthrosis was 1.11% (men 0.45%, women 1.72%), and the incidence w...

Introduction: Proximal tibiofibular joint osteoarthritis is a rare disease most commonly occurring in the presence of either systemic inflammatory conditions or severe knee osteoarthritis. Case Presentation: The authors present a case report of isolated bilateral tibiofibular arthrosis in an otherwise healthy 28-year-old female patient. The patient presented with complaints of lateral knee pain...

OBJECTIVE To study the etiological factors of knee osteoarthritis and to provide the anatomical basis of corrective therapy for knee joint deformity by comparing the biomechanical differences of the knee joints between the osteoarthritis patients and the normal people. METHODS The sexes, ages, heights, weights, painful characters and accompanied symptoms were recorded, and the femoral angle, ...

Objective : To study the correlation between ankle and knee cartilage morphology to test the hypothesis that knee joint cartilage loss in gonarthritis can be estimated retrospectively using quantitative MRI analysis of the knee and ankle and established regression equations; and to test the hypothesis that sex differences in joint surface area are larger in the knee than the ankle, which may ex...

Sandhigatavata is a disease with Shoola (pain), Shotha (swelling) and Hanti Sandhi Gatah (impairment of the functions joints). This can be correlated osteoarthritis.
