Post-traumatic osteoarthritis: the worst associated injuries and differences in patients' profile when compared with primary osteoarthritis.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
July 2023
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), which affects about 12.4% of individuals, particularly looking at the injuries that lead to the most pain and disability in non-athletes, and how these injuries compare to primary osteoarthritis (OA) in terms of patient characteristics and complications post-surgery.
- - A cohort of 1,290 participants with joint issues was analyzed, revealing that PTOA patients were generally younger and had higher alcohol consumption and more significant comorbidities like osteoporosis and psychosis compared to those with primary OA.
- - Findings indicated that meniscal injuries and hip fractures were the most painful and disabling injuries related to PTOA, with knee fractures being more common in men
Role of central obesity on pain onset and its association with cardiovascular disease: a retrospective study of a hospital cohort of patients with osteoarthritis.
BMJ Open
December 2022
Objectives: To determine the role of central obesity (CO) in the onset and severity of joint pain and in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) in subjects affected with osteoarthritis (OA).
Design: Retrospective analysis on the onset of OA joint pain and CO. Waist circumference (WC), Waist-to-height ratio andwaist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were measured at the interview and defined according to the WHO criteria.
A review of Risk Factors for Post-traumatic hip and knee osteoarthritis following musculoskeletal injuries other than anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
Orthop Rev (Pavia)

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a common form of osteoarthritis that might occur after any joint trauma. Most PTOA publications mainly focus on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, many other traumatic injuries are associated with PTOA, not only for the knee but also for the hip joint.

(2) To explore the role of medication used for diabetes in these associations.
Research Design And Methods: This is a hospital-based cohort study of patients with advanced OA requiring total joint arthroplasty.
Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) benefit patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, a specific approach to detect patients at higher risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and mechanical complications is absent. The aim of this study is to identify groups at higher risk for infections and mechanical complications after TJA in patients with RA and OA based on their most significant predictors.
