Complete anterior cruciate ligament tear and the risk for cartilage loss and progression of symptoms in men and women with knee osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage
S AminD T Felson

Abstract

To determine whether a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, a frequent incidental finding on magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) of individuals with established knee osteoarthritis (OA), increases the risk for further knee OA progression. We examined 265 participants (43% women) with symptomatic knee OA in a 30-month, prospective, natural history study of knee OA. The more symptomatic knee was imaged using MRI at baseline, 15 and 30 months. Cartilage was scored at the medial and lateral tibiofemoral joint and at the patellofemoral joint using the Whole-Organ MRI Score (WORMS) semi-quantitative method. Complete ACL tear was determined on baseline MRI. At each visit, knee pain was assessed using a knee-specific visual analog scale and physical function was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) physical function subscale. There were 49 participants (19%) with complete ACL tear at baseline. Adjusting for age, body mass index, gender and baseline cartilage scores, complete ACL tear increased the risk for cartilage loss at the medial tibiofemoral compartment [odds ratio (OR): 1.8, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1, 3.2]. However, following adjustment for the presence of medial meniscal tears, ...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
