Vishnu Senthil, Manish Khanna

Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

Knee osteo-arthritis increases the global burden and adds morbidity to the patient. Total knee replacement is on the rise with patients presenting at stage of advanced knee arthritis increasing surgical morbidity on the patient. Knee cartigram, helps to diagnose early cartilage damage with normal knee radiographs. Addressing cartilage loss at an early stage can preserve the innate knee delaying the onset of arthritis and prevent knee replacement.
