Study of the Associations Between Subchondral Insufficiency Fractures of the Knee and Pre-existing Health, Lifestyle, and/or Musculoskeletal Conditions

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Subchondral Insufficiency Fracture

In brief

This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate possible association(s) between subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIFKs) of the knee and pre-existing health, lifestyle, and/or musculoskeletal conditions. In doing so, this research may shed light on the underlying cause(s) of SIFKs. It is hypothesized that SIFKs of the knee are related to osteoarthritis, weak bone, and/or metabolic issues, rather than trauma.
