Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Objectivet: To study the correlation between different grades of knee OA based on radiographic findings and symptom severity. Methods: Total of 183 knee OA patients diagnosed on the basis of American College of Rheumatology Classification (ACR) Criteria for knee OA, attended in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) OPD, JNIMS, were included. Pain and disability were measured using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Radiological grading by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading from x-ray of weight bearing antero-posterior and lateral views. Correlation between WOMAC score and KL grading analysed. Results: Sex distribution M:F=1:3.4, Mean Age 59.48 ( + 9.8), Mean disease duration 4.79 ( + 0.41) months. Correlations of WOMAC pain and KL grading and WOMAC disability and KL grading were insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Radiographic features and clinical presentations does not go in hand and treatment planning should not be based on the radiographic findings rather on symptom severity and functional status.
