Characterization of knee joint Osteoarthritis Deformities using CT Scanogram

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of the entire joint involving the cartilage, joint lining, ligaments, and underlying bone. The breakdown of these tissues eventually leads to pain and joint stiffness.Varus and valgus malalignment of knee is risk factor for predicator of function decline in people with osteoarthritis. general objective of this study was To characterize the knee Osteoarthritis deformities by using CT Scanogram,specific objective were to measure HKA angle to judge in varus and valgus, correlate effected side (right or left) ,correlate deformities with age and to correlate deformities with gender. CT scanogram were use in this study. This study has found that varus deformities is more prevalence between men than women,The percentage of varus deformities in right is male with frequency26 percent 52% than female with frequency 23percent 46%,And the left knee deformities with frequency 24 percent 48% in male and female . The varus deformities in right and left knee has higher frequency In male the varus deformities,valgus are most common in female in both side Age group (70-80) has higher frequency 13 percent 26% as result of DJD
