Relationship between Classification of Fabellae and the Severity of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Relevant Study in the Chinese Population

| description | Objective To classify the fabellae and discuss the relationship between the classification of fabellae and the severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in Chinese. Methods From February 2019 to February 2020, 136 patients were measured and classified using three‐dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstruction. According to the CT imaging characteristics, the fabellae were divided into five types: type I, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle; type II, a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type III, a fabella on the lateral femoral condyle and a fabella on the medial femoral condyle; type IV, two fabellae on the medial femoral condyle; and type V, two fabellae on the lateral femoral condyle. The severity of KOA was assessed on the Recht grade by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The data were analyzed with SPSS 24.0. Results The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades (χ2 = 35.026, P < 0.05). In terms of KOA grades, grade I and grade II were occupied most by fabellar type II (32, 72.8%); type II and other types showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). Grade I and grade II were also mainly fabellar type IV (four, 100%). Fabellar type V's biggest component was grade III and grade IV (six, 75%). Type IV and type V showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion The classification of fabellae were correlated with KOA grades. The type II may mean the lower KOA grades while type V may mean the higher KOA grades. |
