The prevalence of obesity and previous knee injury was assessed in a retrospective study of 115 patients under-going total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis. Obesity was considered a contributing factor in the development of osteoarthritis in 37% of the patients, and 33% of the patients had had an injury to the knee in question. Unilateral osteoarthritis was significantly more frequent than bilateral osteoarthritis among patients with a history of previous knee injury. The association of previous injury to the knee and unilateral osteoarthritis was stronger in men than women. Aggressive treatment of patients with knee injuries seems warranted.
在一项对115例因骨关节炎接受全膝关节置换术的患者进行的回顾性研究中,评估了肥胖症和既往膝关节损伤的患病率。在37%的患者中,肥胖被认为是骨关节炎发展的一个促成因素,33%的患者该膝关节曾受过伤。在有膝关节损伤史的患者中,单侧骨关节炎比双侧骨关节炎明显更常见。既往膝关节损伤与单侧骨关节炎的关联在男性中比女性更强。对膝关节损伤患者进行积极治疗似乎是有必要的。
