Osteoarthritis, Knee Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prospective Randomized Study on the Effects of Valgus Knee Brace for Knee Osteoarthritis in Chinese Patients
To investigate whether the use of valgus knee brace is useful for patients with medial knee osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is the commonest type of arthritis affecting both the middle age
and geriatric population, which poses a huge burden to our in-patient and out-patient
orthopaedic services. Conservative treatment like physiotherapy and analgesic provide
temporary symptomatic relief. Surgical treatment like high tibial osteotomy and knee
arthroplasty are not without major potential surgical risks and implant-related
complications.
Orthotic treatment can theoretically alter the loading to the knee joint and help to reduce
the symptoms and disease progression. Small scale biomechanical studies have demonstrated
such effects with the use of valgus knee brace (2-4). Though prospective clinical outcome
studies on Chinese patients in our locality are lacking.
Valgus knee brace is a non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive option for knee pain. Using a
three-point leverage the unloader brace is to shift the stress away from the arthritic area
to the normal portion of the knee, maintains good alignment and stability and thus provides
significant pain relief during daily activities. It has been commonly used as a first line
management option in other countries.
Our aim is to perform a prospective randomized study to look at the difference in outcome
measures in osteoarthritic patients with the use of valgus knee brace, on top of the usual
regime of conservative treatment.
