Foot Osteoarthritis: Addressing an Overlooked Global Public Health Problem

A bibliometric analysis of published research employing musculoskeletal imaging modalities to evaluate foot osteoarthritis

“…Research specific to foot osteoarthritis is less advanced than that of other joints, including knee and hip osteoarthritis [36][37][38][39]. However, a notable surge in imaging studies for foot osteoarthritis, particularly at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, was noted in the current analysis, the timeline of which is consistent with publication of the 2017 EULAR recommendations to increase research in this field [19].…”

Association of Foot Symptoms With Decreased Time to All‐Cause Mortality: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project

“…Previous studies have focused on hip or knee OA and pain in relation to mortality and may have been limited in the potential confounding factors considered in their analyses of OA to mortality (8–12). Our study is novel, in that to our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the relationship of foot symptoms to mortality, and additionally, this study has adjusted for a wide variety of confounding factors, which may mediate effects on time to mortality.…”

Epidemiology of osteoarthritis: literature update 2022–2023

“…Roughly a quarter of ankles with a Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade of 0 at baseline progressed to a KL grade of at least 1 over three years of follow-up, and previous ankle injury was associated with progression of radiographic ankle OA compared to the absence of injury history [OR ¼ 3.4 (95% CI 1.13-10.3)] [14]. Evidence from the Clinical Assessment Study of the Foot (CASF) suggests that there are at least three distinct phenotypes to describe foot OA, including no/minimal foot OA, isolated first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint OA, and polyarticular foot OA, however additional studies using larger cohorts are needed to complement these findings [15,16].…”
