Ultrasonographic Predictors for Clinical and Radiological Progression in Knee Osteoarthritis after 2 Years Follow up
Background/Purpose Pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA) is not completely understood. Identifying patients with progression might help to direct future research on therapeutic interventions. As OA is…Abstract Number: 203 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Predictors of Radiographic Progression of Interphalangeal Finger Joints in Erosive Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Study
Background/Purpose Predictors of radiographic progression in erosive osteoarthritis (OA) are important in identifying patients with high risk of disease activity and consequently functional loss. Disease…Abstract Number: 202 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is Schuss View Alone Enough for the Diagnosis of Femorotibial Osteoarthritis ? the Khoala Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Associating an anteroposterior (AP) extended-knee X-ray with a semiflexed AP or posteroanterior (PA) view is considered the gold standard for radiologically diagnosing tibiofemoral osteoarthritis…Abstract Number: 200 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Leg Length Inequality and Hip Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose Leg length inequality (LLI), a side-to-side difference in lower limb lengths, is common. In the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST), in persons with LLI, the…Abstract Number: 199 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increasing Complexity of Patients Undergoing Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in the U.S
Background/Purpose: To examine the time-trends in key demographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods: We used the data from the…Abstract Number: 198 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Implant Survival and Patient-Reported Outcomes after Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients with JIA
Background/Purpose : Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a common rheumatologic disease in children that often persists into adulthood. The hip joint is commonly involved, and…Abstract Number: 197 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Differences in Total Hip Replacement Outcomes Based on Age
Background/Purpose: The fastest growing segment of patients who undergo total hip replacement (THR) are younger than 130 surgeons across 22 states in the US. The…Abstract Number: 216 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hip Adiposity, Not Local Knee Adiposity, Is Associated with Knee Pain Independent of Radiographic Osteoarthritis Severity
Background/Purpose Elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with pain in knee OA. However, it is unclear if adiposity closer in proximity to the knee…Abstract Number: 215 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
External Hip Adduction Moment and Progression of Medial Tibiofemoral Cartilage Damage and Bone Marrow Lesions in Persons with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose Gait mechanics at the hip may affect medial joint loading at the knee in persons with knee OA. Greater external hip adduction moment (reflecting…
