Osteotomy at the knee for advanced cases of Kashin-Beck disease [PDF]
The results of 247 osteotomies at the knee were analysed in 195 patients with Kashin-Beck disease. Since 1983, 37 varus and 210 valgus deformities have been operated on. Supracondylar osteotomy was carried out so that there is a cortical spike in the distal metaphysis which is impacted into the femoral condyle.

Kashin-Beck disease and drinking water in Central Tibet [PDF]
A cross-sectional survey was carried out in order to study the relationship between Kashin-Beck disease and drinking water. The average volume of the water containers was larger in families unaffected by the disease. Organic material was measured by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The UV absorbency was significantly lower in drinking water of unaffected
