Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Femoral Cartilage Thickness in Young Women Wearing High-Heeled Shoes

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Purpose: Altered walking biomechanics play an important role in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Wearing high-heeled shoes can increase the adduction/flexion moment and external varus at the knee which can be associated with severity of medial compartment OA. Our aim was to investigate whether there was any difference between femoral cartilage thickness values of women wearing high-heeled and flat shoes. Methods: A total of 69 healthy women (aged 18e45 years) were recruited in this study. Women who wore shoes with <1.4 cm height in the control group and women who wore shoes >5cm in the high-heeled group were included. All subjects wore those shoes in the past two years, > 5days/week, >5 consecutive hours. The subjects were excluded if they had congenital or acquired deformities of the knee, major trauma/surgery at the knee, or metabolic/rheumatologic disease. Three mid-point measurements were taken from right lateral condyle (RLC), right intercondylar area (RIA), right medial condyle (RMC), left medial condyle (LMC), left intercondylar area (LIA),and left lateral condyle (LLC). Results: There were 32 women (age; 31.2±6.1 years, BMI; 21.9±2.7 kg/m2) in the high-heeled group and 37 women (age; 29.1±6.4 years, BMI;22.1±2.9 kg/m2) in the control group. Their ages and body mass indexes were similar (both p>0.05). We found that there were no differences between the groups regarding femoral cartilage thicknesses (all p>0.05), but there was difference between RMC (2.00±0.42 mm) and RLC (1.87±0.29 mm) cartilage thicknesses only within the high-heeled group (p1/40.028). Conclusions: Although we found similar cartilage thickness values between high-heeled and control groups, higher cartilage thickness on the medial condyle than the lateral condyle in the high-heeled group might be related with cartilage edema, which can be an early finding of OA. Further studies are needed to show the possible changes in the older population.
