Controlling the abnormal movement prevent the progression of knee osteoarthritis

Abstract

s / Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 23 (2015) A82eA416 A315 femoral mean T2 was found to be predictive of TKA in African-Americans (LF: OR1⁄41.44, p1⁄40.03) (Table 1). Unlike results from the AfricanAmerican subgroup, baseline T2 measures were not predictive for TKA in the Caucasian-American subgroup (GLO: OR1⁄41.03, p1⁄40.69) (Table 2). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that quantitative MR-based T2 measurements may be a promising clinical tool to predict the occurrence of total knee arthroplasty in African-Americans and may be less suited for those of Caucasian-American descent. However, due to our small sample sizes, larger cohort studies would be necessary to validate
