Early osteoarthritis of the knee
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2016AbstractThere is an increasing awareness on the importance in identifying early phases of the degenerative processes in knee osteoarthritis (OA), the crucial period of the disease when there might still be the possibility to initiate treatments preventing its progression.

Imaging in knee osteoarthritis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2017Purpose of review Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent and disabling disease still necessitating research in pathogenic mechanisms, predictors of disease progression and responsive techniques to detect the slow structural changes within a short time frame. In this scenario, imaging modalities are essential.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a frequent cause of severe disability in the elderly patient. Usually these patients develop a varus or valgus deformity, with narrowing of the joint space due to articular cartilage destruction on the medial or lateral side.

Exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health issue because it causes chronic pain, reduces physical function and diminishes quality of life. Ageing of the population and increased global prevalence of obesity are anticipated to dramatically increase the prevalence of knee OA and its associated impairments.

The Meniscus in Knee Osteoarthritis
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2009The meniscus is a critical tissue in the healthy knee joint because of its shock absorption and load distribution properties. Meniscal damage is a frequent finding on MRI of the osteoarthritis (OA) knee. The damage appears as horizontal, flap, or complex tears; meniscal maceration; or destruction.

Imaging of knee osteoarthritis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2008New imaging modalities are broadening the possibilities in osteoarthritis (OA) research, and are offering new insights to help better understand the pathogenesis of this disease. Although knee radiographs are widely employed in epidemiological and clinical studies to assess structural pathology, joint radiographs provide limited outcome measures in ...

Exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee
2008Biomechanical factors, such as reduced muscle strength and joint malalignment, have an important role in the initiation and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Currently, there is no known cure for OA; however, disease-related factors, such as impaired muscle function and reduced fitness, are potentially amenable to therapeutic exercise.To ...

Alignment and Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2009Osteoarthritis is widely believed to result from local mechanical factors acting within the context of systemic susceptibility. Previous studies have demonstrated that malalignment is a potent predictor of disease progression in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Obesity and knee osteoarthritis
Inflammopharmacology, 2012The association between obesity and knee osteoarthritis, and specifically the role of obesity as a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis has been well documented. A systematic review and meta-analysis by Blagojevic et al. in Osteoarthr Cartil 18(1):24-33, (2010) examined 36 papers reporting on BMI and found that all studies demonstrated obesity and being

Viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis
Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2014To provide an overview of the diagnosis and pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), and to describe appropriate treatments for knee OA, with a focus on the efficacy and safety of viscosupplementation. Because nurse practitioners (NPs) can inject viscosupplements, a section on injection technique is included.Manuscripts were identified using PubMed and ...
