Knee Arthritis: Mild to Severe to NEW #shorts

Descripción:

Kellgren‑Lawrence (K/L) Knee Arthritis Grading System: The K/L system was originally described using Anterior‑Posterior knee X‑rays. Each radiograph is assigned a grade from 0 to 4 to denote increasing arthritis severity, where Grade 0 indicates no arthritis and Grade 4 indicates severe disease. Grade 1 shows possible osteophytes and doubtful narrowing of the joint space; Grade 2 shows definite osteophytes and possible joint space narrowing; Grade 3 shows definite osteophytes and moderate diminution of joint space; Grade 4 shows large osteophytes, greatly impaired joint space, and severe sclerosis or bony deformity. The video is presented by Dr. Cory Calendine, an orthopaedic surgeon who performs over 600 hip and knee replacement surgeries annually, and it includes a discussion of bone and joint health.
