Objective.To determine if knee alignment measures differ between African Americans and Caucasians without radiographic knee osteoarthritis (rOA).Methods.A single knee was randomly selected from 175 participants in the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project without rOA in either knee. Anatomic axis, condylar, tibial plateau, and condylar plateau angles were measured by 1 radiologist; means were compared and adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI).Results.There were no significant differences in knee alignment measurements between Caucasians and African Americans among men or women.Conclusion.Observed differences in knee rOA occurrence between African Americans and Caucasians are not explained by differences in static knee alignment.

Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis

This study describes knee alignment and active knee range of motion (ROM) in a community-based group of 78-year old adults (n = 143) who did not have radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis in either knee (KL < 2). Although knee malalignment is a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis, most women and men had either valgus or varus alignments. Notably, no men were valgus in both knees. Women with both knees valgus had significantly greater body mass index ( P > 0.001) than women with varus or straight knees. Men and women with valgus or varus knee alignments had generally lower ROM than individuals with both knees straight. In summary, this study highlights the complex relationships among knee alignment, ROM, body mass index, and gender in elderly adults without radiographic knee osteoarthritis.
