Identification of Risk Factors in Early Osteoarthritis of the Knee Joint
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is a common age-related disorder that plagues a vast majority of the elder aged group(1) population of our country. It is a mechanobiological derangement of the joint(2). At present, most patients are diagnosed at a late stage when not much can be done to halt the progression or reverse the disease. With the advent of newer radiological and non-radiological imaging and evaluation techniques, it is possible to diagnose these patients at an earlier stage. However, what needs to be refined is the ability to pick up such candidates for further evaluation. This study aims to study, compare and correlate the risk factors that are associated with early Osteoarthritis of the knee, so as to screen these patients more effectively and give timely intervention.
