Brief summary

Impact of loss of weight on knee arthrosis has not been thoroughly studied. The primary goal of this study is to compare the MRI parameters (aspect of cartilage and oedema of spongious sub-chondral bone) before and one year after bariatric surgery. Knee MRI is not currently part of the investigations preceding bariatric surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
variation of knee joint space thickness24 hours, one yearJoint space variation in percentages (mean joint space variation calculated for each patient group). Mean joint space comparison between 2 groups of obese patients: patients with Bypass surgery versus patients without surgery.
proportion of patients with pain1 yearproportion of patients with Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale ≥ 30/100 (for at least one knee). Comparison at one year after bariatric surgery versus inclusion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
evolution of KOOS score after surgery6 months, 1 year and two yearsAmong the 80 patients undergoing surgery, comparison of KOOS function score before surgery versus 6 months, 1 year and two years after surgery.
evolution of pain scores after surgery6 months, 1 year, 2 yearsAmong the 80 patients undergoing surgery, comparison of mean Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale before surgery versus 6 months, 1 year and two years after surgery.
prevalence of atherosis24 hoursPain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale \>= 3 and/or radiological signs of atherosis
evolution of knee MRI parameters after surgery6 months, 1 year and two yearsAmong the 80 patients undergoing surgery, comparison of the MRI parameters (T2, cartilage volume, œdema of sub-chondral spongious bone) before surgery versus 6 months, 1 year and two years after surgery.
evolution of the proportion of patients in pain6 months, 1 year and two yearsAmong the 80 patients undergoing surgery, comparison of the proportion of patients with Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale ≥ 30/100 before surgery versus 6 months, 1 year and two years after surgery.
mean pain and disability24 hoursmean Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale and mean value of KOOS index for knee function.
