Abstract :

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a chronic disorder of synovial joint resulting from impaired balance between cartilage degeneration and regeneration. The major clinical symptom in osteoarthritis of the knee is Pain and is also the main reason for seeking medical care. Pain is slowly progressive in nature. Approximately, 45% of women over the age of 65 years have symptoms while 70% of those over 65 years show radiological evidence.

Objective: The present study was conducted to determine the clinical and radiological . features of OA knee.

Methods: This Study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics, NSCB MCH, Jabalpur (M.P.) from March 2015 to September 2016. After informed consent, standing X-ray ( AP and lateral) was taken. Joint space narrowing and osteophyte count were used to elaborate radiological findings. For the assessment of clinical features VAS score and functional WOMAC score were used.

Result : in our study the mean age of presentation for osteoarthritis was 56.17 � 9.776 years. 38.60% knees had synovial thickening and 55.1% knees had joint effusion. Only 3.8% knees could climb stairs without any problem and 19.4% knees had normal squatting. Our study found significant correlation between functional Pain & joint space narrowing. (P = 0.0001 < 0.05 so, it is statistically significant).
