title: [Results of orthopedic and radiological investigations on the knee joint of old age patients (author's transl)].
abstract: Orthopedic and radiological investigations were performed on the knee joint of 200 old age patients. The majority of them had no or minute signs, and were free of symptoms. The X-ray characteristics of the degenerative changes of the old age patient's knee joints, and their relationship with the clinical findings are discussed too. The authors point to the relevance of prearthritic conditions in the pathogenesis of those serious osteo-arthritic changes, which become evident in advanced ages.
