Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive condition that leads to intense pain and limited mobility. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is an accepted procedure for end stage knee osteoarthritis to relieve pain and improve joint function. However, TKA is expensive and complex, and some patients need a second revision. The study included patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis, who were planned for proximal fibular osteotomy at Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics. The patients were diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis by the criteria of American College of Rheumatology and the disease severity was graded by Kellgren and Lawrence grading system. Total number of patients included were 126. Maximum number of cases were in the age group of 51 to 60 years (50%) with an average age of 57.9 years. Incidence among left knee was more common (52.3%) with a Female preponderance. Stage 2 OA was found to be more (53.3%) than Stage 3(43.4%) and Stage 4(3.3%).
