Introduction: This study the short-term efficacy of PFO in terms of pain relief and improvement of joint function in patients of medial compartment osteoarthritis attending in OPD of Department of Orthopaedics in our hospital was evaluated.
Methods: Prospective study was conducted on 25 patients with age group of 40 to 70 years both male and female presenting with medial compartment OA of the knee with normal patella- femoral joint.
Results: Most of the patients 88% (22 patients) were in Excellent category, 8% (2 patients) were in Good category and 4% (1 patient) was in Fair category.
