Résumé

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare the use of both anteroposterior (AP) extended-knee X-ray and semi-flexed X-ray (current gold standard) versus the use of semi-flexed X-ray alone to detect femoro-tibial osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Individuals 40 to 75 years of age with symptomatic hip and/or knee OA (Kellgren/Lawrence [KL] score>/=2) were recruited using a multiregional prevalence survey in France. Both AP and schuss X-rays were performed and read; two years later, the same examiner, blinded to the results of the first reading, performed a second reading of the schuss X-ray. We compared the KL stages of each knee and analyzed osteophyte detection and localization, joint space narrowing (JSN), and the relationship to obesity. RESULTS: The analysis included 350 participants with OA of various stages. Comparing the two readings showed that a higher proportion of patients had KL>/=2 when the two X-ray views were combined (right knee: P
