Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease usually suffered by elderly patients, contributing to the high risk of disability. The risk factors that affect the severity of knee osteoarthritis are obesity, age, sex, occupation, patient's history of the disease, trauma and other factors. Excessive body weight is a factor that exacerbates the disease of Osteoarthritis. Generally, this research is aimed to examine the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and knee osteoarthritis at UKI General Hospital in 2017. The researcher used a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. In this study, the researcher used 30 samples. The results showed that there was a relationship between BMI and the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. This study indicates that BMI values above average (more than 24.9) can affect the occurrence of joint space narrowing in patients. Patients with abnormal BMI have a risk of 6,429 times the risk of joint space narrowing compared to patients with normal BMI. The mean BMI value of patients with knee osteoarthritis at UKI General Hospital is 25.6. Therefore, the researcher concluded that there is a correlation between BMI and knee osteoarthritis, in which a high BMI value (>24.9) may affect the occurrence of joint space narrowing among the patients. The mean BMI value among the osteoarthritis patients at UKI General Hospital is 25.6, indicating that most osteoarthritis patients are pre-obese/overweight. Key words: Knee osteoarthritis, Body Mass Index (BMI), joint space narrowing

The researcher used a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. In this study, the researcher used 30 samples. The result of chi-square analysis by using Fisher's Exact Test shows that a p-value = 0.045 indicates that the p-value of BMI is under the significance level of α = 0,05. Therefore, the researcher concluded that there is a correlation between BMI and knee osteoarthritis, in which a high BMI value (>24.9) may affect the occurrence of joint space narrowing among the patients. The mean BMI value among the osteoarthritis patients UKI General Hospital is 25.6, which highly indicates that most osteoarthritis patients are preobese/ overweight.

Introduction: Bony malalignment and soft tissue injury of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) in chronic patellar instability is considered as a surgical indication for distal realignment in the form of anteromedial tibial tubercle transfer (Fulkerson osteotomy) with MPFL reconstruction, are effectively unloads the lateral patella while making the patellofemoral joint more congruous, stable and pain free. Method: A 26 years old male with left habitual patellar dislocation and pain on his left knee. The patient underwent Fulkerson osteotomy (Tibial tuberosity elevation osteotomy and medial transfer) and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using superficial layer of quadriceps tendon autograft. The patient underwent arthroscopic examination preoperatively and found cartilage lesion of patella (Outerbridge type III). Conclusion: Fulkerson osteotomy and MPFL reconstruction is a successful procedure to treat habitual patellar dislocation and patellofemoral pain. The Fulkerson osteotomy can improve the patella stability and knee function. MPFL reconstruction using superficial layer of quadriceps tendon was simple and has fewer complication than using other autografts, such as hamstring tendon, adductor tendon, and patellar tendon.
Perfection of appearance becomes a benchmark in one's self-confidence which can lead to an obsession with it. Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a person's tendency to imagine his physical disability as something that greatly affects him. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the tendency of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in adolescents using a cross-sectional study design. Using random sampling, data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, namely the BDDQ, and a BDD tendency questionnaire based on aspects of preoccupation and distress in high school students. One hundred five respondents attended this study, with a female gender of 52.4% and 47.6% male with an age range of 14-16 years. In the research data, the highest range of Body Mass Index was 18.5-22.9 at 50.5%, and the least was BMI > 30 (2.9%). The results of the hypothesis test, the value of Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) 0.544 > 0.05, so there is no relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the tendency of Body Dysmorphic Disorder in adolescents.
