Objective To evaluate Lequesne Index and patellofemoral function scale in respect of assessment of the severity of knee osteoarthritis. Methods The degrees of knee cartilage deficiency of 34 patients were classified by ultrasound. Knee cartilage deficiency classification and patellofemoral function scale were analyzed statistically by Spearman correlation coefficients.There are 18 patients with varying degrees of severity in both knees.Their knee cartilage deficiency classification and patellofemoral function scale of different knees were compared with Lequesne Index by Spearman correlation coefficients. Results Among 18 patients with varying degrees of severity in both knees, there was statistical correlation between Lequesne Index and the more severe knees' data(P<0.01 ),while no statistical correlation with those better knees' data. Conclusion There was evident correlation between knee cartilage deficiency classification and patellofemoral function scale. The significant correlation existed between Lequesne index and more severe knee' s data (P＜0.01). Therefore patellofemoral function scale is good at assessing more better knee' s data.%目的 比较Lequesne指数和髌股骨关节功能评分对膝骨性关节炎严重程度的评价.方法 采用超声对34例患者膝关节软骨缺损进行分级,将34例患者双侧膝关节软骨缺损分级和髌股骨关节功能评分结合在一起,进行Spearman相关检验分析.选取其中18例两膝关节严重程度不同的患者较重侧和较好侧的膝关节软骨缺损分级和髌股骨关节功能评分与Lequesne指数做相关分析.结果 18例两膝关节严重程度不同的患者的Lequesne指数只和较重侧的数据有统计学的显著相关性(P＜0.01),而与较好侧无统计学相关.结论 髌股骨关节功能评分和膝关节软骨缺损分级存在相关性.较重侧与在统计学上存在相关性(P＜0.01),而较好侧与Lequesne指数无统计学相关.对于较好侧的评估,采用髌股骨功能评分更为准确.
