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).
