To compare the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip, tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints in a skeletal population.
A total of 785 adult English skeletons (695 Saxon or Mediaeval origin) were examined for OA using established criteria.
Twenty nine skeletons had hip OA, compared with 14 with patellofemoral joint OA, and only four tibiofemoral joint OA.
Tibiofemoral OA was far less prevalent in ancient skeletons than hip or patellofemoral disease. Tibiofemoral OA may be a 'new' disease.
比较骨骼人群中髋关节、胫股关节和髌股关节骨关节炎(OA)的患病率。
使用既定标准对总共785具成年英国骨骼(695具源于撒克逊或中世纪)进行OA检查。
29具骨骼有髋关节OA,相比之下,14具患有髌股关节OA,只有4具患有胫股关节OA。
在古代骨骼中,胫股关节OA的患病率远低于髋关节或髌股关节疾病。胫股关节OA可能是一种“新型”疾病。
