A study of role of obesity in the chondral lesions of isolated medial meniscus tears at tertiary health care centre
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A medial meniscus tear is more common than a lateral meniscus tear, because it is firmly attached to the deep medial collateral ligament and the joint capsule. The medial meniscus absorbs up to 50% of the shock of the medial compartment so it is susceptible to injury. Meniscal injury is a major cause of functional impairment of the knee. Aim and objective: To study the role of obesity with isolated chondral lesions of medial meniscus Methodology: Present study was prospective study carried out in patients with isolated medial meniscus tear. Data was collected with pretested questionnaire. Data included sociodemographic data, BMI, detailed history and Clinical examination. Diagnostic arthroscopy was performed to evaluate abnormal findings. The severity of chondral damage was determined by the ICRS grade and the number of compartments involved. Data was analysed with appropriate statistical tests. Results and discussion: Majority of the patients were from age group of > 50 years (55%) followed by 41-50 years (22%). Incidence increases as age increases in females. We observed that chondral score was significantly affected by BMI (P value <0.05)
