Study of Association Between Digital Osteoarthritis and Lower Limb Osteoarthritis

Overview

Among the risk factors for lower limb osteoarthritis, if obesity is probably the most studied, digital osteoarthritis received increasing interest in recent years. Recent publications have highlighted a link between obesity and digital osteoarthritis, but also a very probable link between digital osteoarthritis and structural progression of knee osteoarthritis. Few data including hip exist and need to be confirmed on larger scale studies. We have with "Khoala" a national multiregional cohort of symptomatic gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis representative of the general population (which is rarely the case in the literature) including X ray, clinical and biological follow-up (hips and / or knees).
