Objectives:This study was done to determine the prevalence of radiographic ankle osteoarthritis (OA) in Korean women with clinical primary ankle OA.
Methods: This analysis involved 160 Korean women who visited our out patient clinic due to ankle joint pain. Ankle AP and lateral weight-bearing radiographs were evaluated retrospectively to check whether they have radiographic OA or not. Radiographs were read for features of ankle OA using Schoot classification. Demographic factors and radiographic findings in both radiographic ankle OA group and non-radiographic ankle OA group were analyzed by the student t-test, the chi square test and the Pearson’s analysis. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The prevalence of radiographic ankle OA in Korean women is 18.2%in patient between 18 and 39 years and is 55.6% in patient over 40. There was significant difference between two groups with age (P<0.001) and relatively strong correlation between radiographic OA and age (r=0.474, P<0.001).
Conclusion: These results show that the prevalence of Korean women with radiographic changes of ankle OA was 45% and there was relatively strong correlation between age and radiographic ankle OA.
