The aim of this study was to characterize knee joints changes in Sudanese population using plain x-ray, in order to comprehend the potential pathological changes that might appears in the plain x-ray film also to calculate bone size for artificial knee joint before surgery. A total of 257 symptomatic knee joints were enrolled in this study,106 showed no change in the x-ray film ‘normal’, (56 male and 50 female), 151 showed change of knee joint in the plain x-ray (55 males and 96 females).Their age range from18 to 78 years. In this study also study found that the mediolateral femur measurements for male is equal to 6.4 ±1.03 and 5.9± 0.7 for female and the mediolateral tibia measurements is equal to 6.8 ± 0.9 for male and 6.3 ± 0.6 for female. These differences were significant at p=0.05 using the t-test with t=2.62 for male and t=3.07 for female and p=0.04 and 0.02 respectively. The mediolateral femur and tibia measurement were significantly correlated with the height and circumference of the knee, as well these measurements were correlated significantly with the artificial femur and tibia size. Also this study found that the diagnosis = [(TL2X×0.86) + (FL1X×-0.29) + (TW3X×0.63) + (TL1X×0.38)] – 5.85. To identifies the normal for symptomatic cases where the result =1, the patient were normal otherwise patient were affected.
Characterization of symptomatic Knee Joint in Sudanese
(Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences, 2014) Mustafa,Badria Awad Elamin Mustafa; Garelnabi,MEM; Mohamed,Sharaf Elgizouly; Abdulrahim,Salah Mohamed; Osman,H
Knee Joint is one of largest and complex joint in the human body. The aim of this study was to characterize symptomatic knee joints in Sudanese population by using height and circumference of knee joint to predict pathological changes that appear in the planner x-ray film in advance. A total of 257 symptomatic knee joints were measured. One hundred and six showed no change in the x-ray film ‘normal’, (56 male and 50 female), 151 of symptomatic patient’s showed change of knee joint in the plain x-ray ‘diseased’ (55 males and 96 females). Their age range between 18-65 years, bio-data such as height, weight, body mass index heights and circumferences of knees were recorded. In this study we found that there is a significant difference between the height and circumference of the knee for male and female, but there is inclusive differences regarding Rt and Lt knee in normal cases. While the circumference of the knee showed a significant difference between those with remarkable x-ray changes and the symptomatic one without obvious x-ray changes. In conclusion we can estimate the symptomatic patient without changes in X-ray from those with changes by using their age, body mass index and period of disease in a multi-regression equation to predict each groups where the index of possibility increase 0.009, 0.003 and 0.015 for age, period of disease and body mass index respectively; where index one indicate no change in x-ray and index two indicate presence of changes.
