Loures,Fabrício Bolpato; Góes,Rogério Franco de Araújo; Palma,Idemar Monteiro da; Labronici,Pedro José; Granjeiro,José Mauro; Olej,BeniABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To define the anthropometric profile of the knee in a Brazilian population with gonarthrosis using intraoperative measurements; and to evaluate the compatibility of three implants available for total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Morphometric data were collected prospectively from 117 subjects with gonarthrosis. Six dimensions in the distal femur and two in the proximal tibia were documented i...
Evaluation of body mass index as a prognostic factor in osteoarthrosis of the knee
Loures,Fabrício Bolpato; Góes,Rogério Franco de Araújo; Labronici,Pedro José; Barretto,João Maurício; Olej,BeniABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between patients' body mass index (BMI) and the degree of radiographic severity of knee osteoarthrosis. METHOD: 117 patients with gonarthrosis were evaluated prospectively. The patients' BMI was calculated and their knee arthrosis was classified in accordance with the modified Ahlbäck criteria. Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the ...
