Summary

The aim of the study to investigate the relationship between femoral cartilage thickness in Ultrasonographic evaluation and inflammatory parameters, pain severity and functionality in participants with Knee Osteoarthritis

Detailed description

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between femoral cartilage thickness and inflammatory parameters, pain severity and functionality in participants with Knee Osteoarthritis. Methods: This study is designed as a prospective, cross-sectional trial. 90 participants aged between 50-65 years with knee osteoarthritis(OA) and at least 50 participants without any symptom for knee OA are included in the study in accordance with the inclusion criteria. Participants' demographic characteristics will be evaluated, and ultrasonographic measurement will be performed for measuring femoral cartilage thickness. Visual Analog scale will be used for pain severity and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoartrit index (WOMAC) will be used for assessing functionality of the patients. Also hematologic parameters(neutrophils, leucocytes, lymphocytes, platelet, CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) will be evaluated for investigating the inflammation. The relationship between femoral cartilage thickness and inflammatory parameters, pain severity and functionality in knee osteoarthritis will be analysed for both group.
