Ankylosing Spondylitis

General Information

NEWS:

Knee Pain and Meniscus Tears—What’s the Connection? “When the MRIs were read, researchers found that meniscal tears were remarkably common, that the frequency did increase with the age of the person, and that there were more often meniscal tears among those whose knee x-ray showed signs of osteoarthritis. In the group of subjects who had osteoarthritis in their knees, the prevalence of a meniscal tear was 63 percent among those with knee pain, and 60 percent among those without knee pain. In other words, both the group with pain and the group without pain had about equal numbers of people with meniscal tears.”
