Knee Osteoarthritis In Mysuru Population

This book attempts to determine the association between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and detection of serum enzymatic profile especially matrix metalloproteinase-3 and matrix metalloproteinase-13 in patients with knee Osteoarthritis and controls. The efforts of the book have been made to identify the prevalence of knee Osteoarthritis was highest in the age group of 60-65 irrespective of the gender. At the viewpoint clinical pattern and biochemical markers evidence that different population lifestyle and day to day activities also matters for most causes of cartilage degradation in knee joints. Womac scores results reveal that the majority of the patients with knee Osteoarthritis were having moderate in pain stiffness and physical functions it directly associated with their pain of knee while doing different activities.

This book Grants readers exclusive insight into advancements in the field of knee Osteoarthritis and it will be useful for policy makers medical practitioners especially orthopaedic doctors research community and drugs producers.
