Diversity and Impact of Dance Osteoarthritis Treatment and Mechanisms Bone and Joint Diseases

Abstract

Forty-four retired dancers were studied with regard to degenerative joint disease in the lower limbs. Six cases of coxarthrosis were found, significantly more than expected in the general population. In addition, there were four cases of tibiofemoral arthrosis, six of knee osteophytosis, four of patellofemoral arthrosis, three of chondrocalcinosis, and one of bilateral ankle arthrosis. More than one-half of the dancers had arthrosis in the metatarsophalangeal joints.
