Abstract
Osteoarthropathy (OA) of the Knee occurs in the elderly and requires long term treatment.
We investigated the degree of severity by X-ray and surface temperature using thermography for knee.
The surface temperature of knees in the moderate severity group showed low temperatures compared with the normal group.
The results of this study indicate the usefulness of thermography according to the degree of OA in patients with knee pain.
