Varus Angle Correlation With Knee Pain in Indian Post-Menopausal Women

Knee pain in postmenopausal women can be due to varying reasons. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes in women. There is expanding proof that estrogen impacts joint tissues' action through complex atomic way beams that demonstrate at different levels (3). Observational examinations demonstrate that the pervasiveness of O.A. is expanded tremendously in postmenopausal ladies (4). The study aims to nd out the Clinical knee Varus angle correlation vs. knee pain in Indian post-menopausal women. T Results: he average WOMAC score was 54.34 out of 96, indicating moderate knee pain and dysfunction. The varus angle in the standing position showed a positive correlation with the WOMAC score, suggesting a relationship between knee alignment and symptom severity. However, the varus angle in the supine position did not show a signicant correlation. Physiotherapy sessions were negatively correlated with the WOMAC score, indicating that more sessions were associated with better outcomes. Age and time since menopause showed a weak negative correlation with the WOMAC score. Range of motion, medication duration, and muscle strength also showed correlations with the WOMAC score. Varus angle Conclusion- in standing position and not supine is an important screening and prognostic factor (but not the only) in osteoarthritis of the knees and can be used to screen patients in bulk in absence of imaging modalities. The number of physiotherapy sessions is important in better functions and WOMAC scores. The duration of menopause, other post-menopausal symptoms have no statistical signicance in prognosticating knee osteoarthritis.
