Abstract:

Objective   To compare the differences of the width and height of the fossa intercondyloidea between the healthy adults and the osteoarthritis patients, and analyze the relationship between the morphology of fossa intercondyloidea and the osteoarthritis. Methods   The width and height of the fossa intercondyloidea was measured on 150 adults and 112 osteoarthritis patients using MR Imaging pictures. The data of all participants were grouped by sex and compared statistically. Results   The width of fossa intercondyloidea of the healthy adults and the osteoarthritis patients was 21.23±2.81mm and17.72±2.66mm respectively. The height of fossa intercondyloidea of the healthy adults and the osteoarthritis patients was 28.83±2.98mm and 23.04±3.20mm respectively. There was significant difference of both the width and height of fossa intercondyloidea between the healthy adults and the osteoarthritis patients(P<0.001). Conclusion   The width and height of the fossa intercondyloidea are both smaller in the osteoarthritis patients than those in the healthy adults. Osteoarthritis may be related to the stenosis of the fossa intercondyloidea.
