Influence of weather on osteoarthritics

Perceived Influence of Weather Conditions on Rheumatic Pain in Romania

“…e analysis of meteotropism for our group revealed a much higher share of the patients feeling an intensification of their joint pain before the weather worsening: more than 68% compared to values of 48-52% previously reported [4,5]. Also, more than 40% of the participants in our study indicated more intense pain at least 24 hours before weather worsening (between 1 and 3 days), whereas some other research papers found that most of the interviewed people experienced more intense pain at least 12 hours before the changing weather [20,46]. A possible explanation for the increase in pain severity between 1 and 3 days before weather worsening in the case of people reporting meteotropism could be the delay of 24-72 hours between changes (air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, cloudiness, and wind speed) in the higher and middle troposphere and those at the ground level.…”

Weather Conditions and Spinal Patients

“…14 LaBorde et al examined rural and urban patients with osteoarthritis to evaluate the effects of geographical layout on the weather-pain relationship. 15 The pain of osteoarthritis in urban patients correlated negatively with precipitation and positively with wind speed. Pain in the rural patients, on the other hand, was not influenced by any of the studied weather parameters.…”

Metaphyseal fixation in revision knee arthroplasty: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of mid-long-term outcomes of metaphyseal sleeves and cones

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the only review looking at long term outcomes and the only meta-analysis on the topic. We do acknowledge a number of publications representing short-term term follow up (8,31). Divano et al (32) described a rate of aseptic loosening of 1.98% at 3.65 years, with an all cause revision rate of 8.19%.…”
