pubmed:abstractText |
Despite the lower prevalence of obesity (a known risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA)), the prevalence of lateral tibiofemoral OA is higher in Chinese communities compared with Caucasian communities. One potential explanation is the difference in knee alignment between the two populations. We measured various knee alignment indices among Chinese and Caucasians and assessed whether these indices were different between the two racial groups.
