“…However, it is not only professional athletes at risk of these injuries, as Loes, Dahlstedt, and Thomée [2] reported that knee injury accounted for 15% to 50% of injuries related to 12 different sports during a longitudinal seven year trial of recreational male and female exercisers. Knee instability is a problem affecting both young and old individuals, as those aged over 65 years have been reported to suffer from one to three incidences of falls due to several factors, including self-reported knee instability [3]. It affects a varied population, including professional athletes [4,5], older adults, and recreational exercisers [6].…”

Knee instability has been the focus of large number of studies over the last decade; however, a high incidence rate of injury still exists. The aim of this short report is to examine knee joint anatomy and physiology with respect to knee stability. Knee joint stability requires the integration of a complex set of anatomical structures and physiological mechanism. Compromising any of these structures leads to destabilisation and increased risk of injuries. This review highlights the structure and soft tissue of the knee that contribute to its stability and function. This introduction is part of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology's Special Issue "The Knee: Structure, Function and Rehabilitation".

“…It affects a varied population, including professional athletes [4,5], older adults, and recreational exercisers [6]. The impact of knee instability can be severe, and may lead to an increased risk of falls [3] and a long period of rehabilitation [7]. These consequences of knee instability increase the cost to health care systems [8,9].…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a commonly prevalent and chronically complicated condition that affects different joints in millions of patients worldwide, leading to a cumulative effect over time. Due to few global prospective studies, this study investigated the association of OA to bodily and demographic characteristics of the study population. It demonstrated the levels of thyroid hormones in OA patients. Totally, 324 individuals; 162 normal (GN), 111 doubtful to minimal OA (GOA1) and 51 moderately to severe OA (GOA2) were subjected to this study from September to December (2021). For bodily characteristics of the study population, the findings of age, height and gender showed insignificance between study groups but not in weight and BMI. Regarding demographic data, level of education, non-smoking and smoking, and non-arthritis and arthritis population were associated almost insignificantly with OA patients except for GOA2 patients, who showed a significant correlation to OA compared to GOA1 and GN. For chronic diseases, the association was observed insignificantly between GOA1, GOA2 and GN of 1 and 2 chronic diseases and between GOA1 and GN of 3 and 4 chronic diseases; however, significance was recorded in values of GOA2 in comparison with values of GOA1 and GN. For physical activity, significance was observed in low and high values but not in medium activities. Results without and with walking aids were variable significantly, in particular in values of GOA2 when compared to GOA1 and GN. Findings of TSH, T3 and T4 of GOA1, GOA2 and GN were correlated significantly. The association of TSH to the severity of OA revealed an obvious significance in values of crude, adjusted 1 and 2 models. In conclusion, this study was the first Iraqi report, and studies are necessary due to the significant association between OA and thyroid hormone dysfunction. Keywords: OA, T3, T4, TSH, Risk factor, Iraq
