Abstract

Statistical comparison of the weight index of patients presenting arthritis of the knee with that of a control group of matching sex and age, has enabled to demonstrate a definite weight gain in the most frequent topographical varieties of knee arthritis in women: lateral femoro-patellar, medial femoro-tibial, combination of the two. In men, the excess weight was only demonstrated in medial femoro-tibial arthritis.
