Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the correlation between the changes of imaging parameters and the degree of pain in knee osteoarthritis(KOA).

Methods

Ninety patients with KOA were selected from September 2014 to September 2016 in Panyu District Hospital of traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou. All the selected patients took knee joint axial X-ray films. Five imaging indicators were collected on picture archiving and communication systems(PACS) imaging system, namely patellofemoral index, patellofemoral coordination angle (suitable angle), lateral patellofemoral angle, patellofemoral tilt angle and femoral trochlear groove angle. The degree of pain in KOA patients was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score. According to the VAS score, the patients were divided into two groups: VAS score ≥ 5 and VAS score <5. The imaging indicators of the two groups were compared. The correlation between VAS scores and imaging parameters were analyzed by logistic multiple regression analysis. Among them, 1-3 was classified as mild pain, 4-6 as moderate pain and 7-10 as severe pain.

Results

The patellofemoral index was significantly different between the two groups(t=2.05, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in other indicators. Regression analysis showed that patellofemoral index and moderate pain had statistical significance (odds ratio=1.345, P<0.05).

Conclusions

There is a correlation between the change of lower limb force line and the degree of pain in KOA patients. Patellofemoral index is associated with moderate pain.
