Popis: | OBJECTIVE To examine whether joint line tenderness and patellofemoral grind from physical examination were associated with cartilage volume loss, worsening of radiographic osteoarthritis, and the risk of total knee replacement. METHODS This study examined 4,353 Osteoarthritis Initiative participants. For each measurement of joint line tenderness and patellofemoral grind, the patterns were defined as no (none at baseline and at 1 year), fluctuating (present at either time point), and persistent (present at both time points). Cartilage volume loss and worsening of radiographic osteoarthritis over 4 years were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging and radiographs, and total knee replacement over 6 years was assessed. RESULTS A total of 35.0% of participants had joint line tenderness, and 15.8% had patellofemoral grind. Baseline patellofemoral grind, but not joint line tenderness, was associated with increased cartilage volume loss (1.08% per year versus 0.96% per year; P = 0.02) and an increased risk of total knee replacement (odds ratio [OR] 1.55 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.11-2.17]; P = 0.01). While the patterns of joint line tenderness were not significantly associated with joint outcomes, participants with persistent patellofemoral grind had an increased rate of cartilage volume loss (1.30% per year versus 0.90% per year; P < 0.001) and an increased risk of total knee replacement (OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.30-3.38]; P = 0.002) compared with those participants without patellofemoral grind. CONCLUSION Patellofemoral grind, but not joint line tenderness, may represent a clinical marker associated with accelerated cartilage volume loss over 4 years and an increased risk of total knee replacement over 6 years. This simple clinical examination may provide clinicians with an inexpensive way to identify those at higher risk of disease progression who should be targeted for surveillance and management. |
